I am on Fedora as well and have used the microsoft wireless dongle with the medisalix/xone kernel module in the past, but i stopped using it since it had me pull and plug the dongle once every while to make it work again.
Nowadays i just use bluetooth (with my xbox one and xbox series x controller). You actually don't need any additional packages for that. Three things to consider about this:
- You possibly have to upgrade the controller firmware with an atrocious app on a windows machine
- pairing is a nightmare (needed an hour for one controller always trying until the pairing completed)
- You need to set some bluetooth settings in a config file for Bluetooth LE timings since the microsoft team thought it would be funny to not let the controller advertise the right configurations.
All that said, once paired and configured it just works (TM). Feel free to reach out if you need further information.
Thats what I noticed as well. I think it was about three cancels at every menu point.
Google makes small steps towards repairability with their phone design, e.g. dual entry design (so you don't have to lift off the screen to replace the battery, which could break), seperate daughter board for the usb port (so you don't have to replace the whole motherboard when the usb port breaks, which is a part that is in heavy use), etc. These are baby steps but maybe they will have a user service friendly device ready by 2027 when the EU requires it.
Sadly the glue they used for the pixel 9 seems to be really sticky so the pull tabs break, you can look for teardown videos on youtube.
- You can remove the search bar (which was the only thing bugging me about the "original")
- changing icon and font sizes, shapes, font families, ...
- actions for screen double tapping ("lock screen" is what i use)
- is open source
To me this is a feels like a full blown release as I've been using the beta, alpha, the builds on a fork of one of the maintainers github fork, ... All of them with very few issues.
That was honestly the only thing i needed from a launcher when i got my pixel 6a two years ago, but there is so much more to it as i later discovered. All the tweaking that is possible on top of the (very good) pixel launcher, which it was built upon but had this one flaw.
Always baffles me how people don't comprehend that our population basically depends on migration. The younger we are, the more of us have a migration background, up to 40%.
The consequences under upcoming fascism (regardless of migration) will be to propagate the "traditional family" and forbid abortions (like we see in the USA).
You could also try to write modular software and use standardized interfaces to prevent vendor lock in. Haha who am i kidding...
It's always refreshing to see how nonchalant people with experience in a special field talk about it.

I hope so as well, as Valve is one of the few companies left these days not consisting of shareholder imbeciles.
