sudo apt-get install retroarchin Ubuntu MATE 22.04 but it's broken.[1] Not found in Ubuntu MATE 23.04 or 24.04. "hid" is not found in the Flatpak or AppImage packages.Perhaps it is utilized by other distros? Can anyone else please confirm that it should be removed from the "Linux Controller Drivers" section?
I didn't remove "hid" from https://docs.libretro.com/guides/input-controller-drivers/#windows
