Giving bazzite a test run before deciding to jump ship from windows. Seems great so far but I’m currently hitting a wall. I’m trying to play Liftoff, which requires a drone controller to be plugged in. In order to grant usb privileges (serial port I think), I need to install BETAFPV configurator. That’s a deb package so I set up a mint container in distrobox and installed, changed permissions, and exported it. When trying to launch in command line, it says libnss3.so doesn’t exist. I downloaded a deb for that library and installed it on the mint container as well, but am still getting the same error.

About to try the windows installer with wine but if anyone can tell me why I’m dumb, that would be fantastic.

    I still wanted BetaFPV because I use it to configure my drones, but this search led me to a forum where a user said in 2024 that BetaFPV does not work at all in Linux. Seems weird given they literally have a download for it, but I did find a flatpack for betaflight and hopefully that will let me configure the serial port. See my update comment.

    I did find out how to create and load a new udev rule with the controller info, but still no dice on getting liftoff to detect it.
