Yes that setting does exist, and it does work by letting Steam directly take over control of all the extra buttons on the controller... HOWEVER. It does a really bizarre thing where Steam will see multiple instances of the controller, one is the "correct" one, another is a basic Xbox 360 controller, and if you happen to power cycle the controller while Steam is running, then often the controller will not work at all anymore until you shut down Steam, then power cycle the controller again, then start up Steam again. I've seen other people reporting even more duplicates in Steam too, potentially based on whether you've installed Steam's extended Xbox controller driver? Not totally sure.
Also, while Steam is open, the controller doesn't work at all with any games not launched through Steam (game pass games, other launchers, etc.). There are workarounds for this, but still annoying.
It is supported in ReWASD now, but I think that gets fiddly when you have ReWASD and Steam running at the same time; I haven't really tried a proper setup in ReWASD yet.
Overall, just a very frustrating and inconsistent experience. When it's working, I really love it, but then there are nights where I spend 3 hours troubleshooting instead of just playing games.
Mine shows 2027 estimate :( was hoping to replace my Vader 5 Pro with its pretty abysmal software situation with the Steam Controller soon, but I guess not
I like for it to open folders with a swipe and open the first app of the folder with a tap. I have figured out how to do this in Octopi now thanks to the other reply! Although it becomes slightly an issue with how folders in the dock behave slightly differently than folders on the home pages. But I think it's close enough to be a workable replacement for Nova finally!
I'm trying out Octopi right now, seems nice so far. But, is there any way to make folders open the first app with a tap, and open the folder by swiping? That's how I used Nova for years and years, very hard to break away from that
It's obviously going to be way overpriced but if the rumored screen specs of the iPhone Fold are accurate, it could be remarkably one-hand-able with a 5.5" cover screen. And the extra thickness when it's closed might make grip actually better than most phones today that are kinda annoyingly thin.
Sadly I would never switch to iPhone even though I would like a device like that theoretically.
I don't have a bandwidth cap but my download speed is 40 Mbps max, soooo copying back and forth between HDD and SSD is way faster for me lol.
Plus, it doesn't happen much (if ever) that a game gets delisted/removed, but I prefer having a local copy of game files for games I care about rather than trusting remote servers to always have it available.
See, I guess my problem is I never liked gboard's swipe algorithms back when I used gboard. Cause man heliboard's swiping with the gboard library really pisses me off sometimes lol
Seeing the initial new Marathon trailer might have been the most excited and then disappointed I've ever been with a game announcement. So excited for them to bring that franchise to the modern era, but so disappointed that it was just an extraction shooter. Ugh.
I definitely remember a lot of people whining about how long Infinite took to release, especially when it got delayed a full year, and then finally releasing after 6 years, it wasn't even that good. The old 3 year cadence was pretty perfect imo, plenty of time for each game to have a good run before the next one, and not close enough together to cause fatigue.
Any Seanan McGuire fans here?

Still happening too
I love Everything, I have it set to trigger with Ctrl+Alt+Space
Thank you! Not sure how I missed that toggle, I guess my brain expected it to be somewhere in a sub-menu.

I'll add another recommendation for The Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb, it is absolute peak storytelling imo
Robin Hobb's books are my favorite series of all time, probably across all forms of media too, highly highly highly recommend

Only gAmErS get that joke!

I agree with your sentiment but the game is not "from Microsoft"

I wish there were a different gesture typing library to use... It makes so many annoying incorrect predictions.
I like Heliboard but its prediction can be wildly frustrating sometimes. At least when using a swipe library with it.
According to AMD themselves, no.
