Description

Getting input right and meeting game expectations right is hard, especially on an OS they were not designed with in mind.

Some use access to raw HID devices - we not only have to sort out permissions but also undo fixes provided by the Linux Kernel.

Then there's Wayland with its limitations, even over XWayland. Are you trying to clip the cursor to an unusual area? Good luck!

I hope to start a discussion on the current limitations and how to get around them.
