Xbox Series S | X controllers aren't being detected on Fedora 38
In the other distros I've tried (ubuntu / pop os) I usually solve the problem by installing xpadneo using the official method that can be found here. But this doesn't seem to be working in this case. I've already tried using gnome bluetooth settings, blueman and bluetoothctl.

XBox controller via bluetooth
That was more than a year ago though and it seems some people are working on linux drivers. xpadneo is probably a good starting point: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo

The 1622nd questions about connecting xbox controller to Linux. Updated firmware, using sysfsutils & xpadneo still failed.
If that doesn't work either, I would try making an issue on their github and asking there: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/issues

Xbox Controller on EndevourOS.
This very same controller has worked on this very same physical computer in the past, but under Ubuntu using the xpadneo driver (https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/). One day, for no reason as near as I can tell, it simply stopped working and showed the exact same symptoms as above (controller works for phone, not for PC, doesn't show up in bluetooth list. Other bluetooth devices work fine with the PC). This triggered my distro-hop to Endeavour just to discover the exact same issue.

The Linux graphics stack in a nutshell, part 1
I think your information is quite outdated. The HWC overlay planes are heavily used, you can see this trivially just doing a 'dumpsys SurfaceFlinger' or grabbing a systrace/perfetto trace. When it falls back to GPU composition it's very obvious as there's a significant hit to latency and more GPU contention.
The overlay capabilities of the modern Snapdragons are also quite absurd. They support like upwards of a dozen overlays now and even have FP16 extended sRGB support. Some HWCs (like the one in the steam deck) even have per plane 3D LUTs for HDR tone mapping (ex https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/blob/master/src/d... )
The composition is bandwidth heavy of course, but for static scenes there's a cache after the HWC in the form of panel self refresh.

Firefox Is Going to Try and Ship with Wayland Enabled by Default
One of the unfortunate things about Wayland is every compositor will have its own quality of implementation affecting things like latency.
With XOrg, especially in the pre-compositing days, you could choose whatever WM you want and it wouldn't have any impact on the rendering performance of X clients. Once the Composite extension was added and everyone started running composited X desktops, that started to change, and the increased latency already started appearing - in an arguably worse architecture than Wayland because there were often three processes involved with lots of IPC per draw: X-Client->X-Server->X-Compositor->X-Server->CRTC. At least in Wayland it's more like Wayland-Client->Wayland-Compositor->CRTC.
If you're unhappy with the rendering latency of your Wayland sessions, it may be worth trying alternative compositors... they likely vary significantly. The Valve/Steam folks have made a minimal one specifically optimized for games/low-latency [0]. I doubt the SteamDeck would be seeing as much success as it is if Wayland were so problematic in this department.

Help needed to confirm two 3.5 bugs
While streaming from the Deck to another device (phone with Steam Link app or another PC running steam), taking a screenshot on the Deck (hold the steam or ... button, and press R1) crashes the session (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/961). This one also impacts Decky Recorder. If you're recording the screen or have replay mode on and take a screenshot, you'll have a crash.
- I haven't seen much posted about it here, so I wanted to point out Valve's gamescope micro-compositor (Linux Gaming)

FYI on video corruption in cmd and terminal windows
Hey folks. I've got a 11900H motherboard and use the iGPU and stock Intel graphics drivers that I keep current. Even at baseline (so without overclocking of any kind, with good Corsair memory sticks configured without XMP and regardless of voltage), I would be able to use Windows 11 and the CMD or Terminal programs without issue but after some time they would be corrupt and unreadable. The fix was in Terminal, go into Settings, then Render, and turn on Software Rendering. I hope this helps someone else. FYI the corruption was very much like other Intel UHD graphics samples reported in this link: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/356
