I’m building a new home theater PC and figured that since all it’ll be used for is gaming, streaming and media playback, why not go for Linux? My choice of distros has basically come down to Mint and Bazzite, and I’m leaning towards Bazzite, but there’s one massive question mark sitting in my brain. After the initial setup, the PC is going to use exclusively wireless peripherals, since it’s gonna be sitting across the room from me and I’m not dangling cables over the gaps for my cat to jump into. I’ve got a Logitech K400+ wireless keyboard and Xbox One controllers, what are the odds that I’ll get them working properly? Preferably without spending a week trawling Github? The devices will have to be connected via the official wireless dongles, since the PC doesn’t have Bluetooth. And I don’t think the keyboard even supports anything except the dongle.

EDIT: Alright, looks like it’ll be a rather painless experience! Dope! Also checked ProtonDB for the games I’m playing, or planning to play, on this thing and everything is at least gold-rated.

    Think you’ve already got enough (positive!) feedback, but just to add that even other distros are fine with wireless peripherals. I did have to enable the bluetooth service to start up on switch on, apart from that no issues using wireless mouse, keyboard and dualsense controller on EndeavourOS
