Discover VS xone

Discord overlay doesn't exist in linux. I'm using Discover as a workaround.

If you know python you could maybe start by looking at how discover handles everything by reading its source code

There are applications like Discover for Discord. It is capable to render above everything else, even fullscreen games without taking any resources.

1) If you use Discord, install it and the Discover overlay. With the Deck's excellent output cancelling, you can comfortably chat while you play.

Python GTK Linux Example that works on Steam Deck: https://github.com/trigg/Discover

Discover Overlay: This lets you have an overlay for Discord, since Discord on Linux still has no overlay support of its own. It's a little janky, but being able to see who's talking and read what the people in text chat are saying is just an important part of being social online. I love being able to both play video games and hang out with friends simultaneously, so this is just about mandatory for me.

There is a way to make it work with this https://github.com/medusalix/xone There are tutorials in this subreddit. I’ve done it and it was noticeable better than Bluetooth IMHO.

For example, I have some old Xbox One controllers that don't have Bluetooth and an Xbox Wireless Adapter, I got them working with the xone driver.

I think you need this https://github.com/medusalix/xone

https://github.com/medusalix/xone This is where I got the files and instructions.

What you need is to install the Xbox One driver. You can find it under xone.
