I think my kids are more accepting of Linux on the family PC because of their school chrome books. We'll see how it plays out when they start purchasing their own devices though.

I tried this but eventually it got drifty again. I then swapped the joysticks for the Gulikit hall effect sticks and resolved the issue permanently.

Also, I think the design of the joycon is good. It was much easier to repair than the gen1 quest controller. When I attempted to do the same shim fix I broke some ribbon cable clip rendering it unusable.
