I still believe the name should be Linux Subsystem for Windows. The other way around sound like Proton
Microsoft has always been terrible at naming things. And at developing things. And at literally everything.
I'd say the one thing they've been decent at is input devices, oddly enough. I was pretty happy with my SideWinder 3D Pro joystick and my Intellimouse Explorer back in the day. I also still (very occasionally) use an Xbox 360 controller attached to my Linux PC.
No credit for Xboxes themselves, let alone other hardware like Zunes and Windows Phones and shit, of course.
I love Xbox 360 controllers, I always use the wired ones so you don't have to fuck about with batteries which I always find annoying to deal with, you also don't need the receiver thing either. And latency is lower.
I find 360 controllers seem to be the most comfortable to hold in my hands, as well as being pretty well built. You can get them used on eBay for like ยฃ15/$20
