I am a little bit confused:

I am on Ubuntu 22.04 in command line. just tried sudo apt install ros-humble-joy

"After this operation, 218 MB of additional disk space will be used." !!!!! A joystick driver that take 218MB? Reading installed packages (131 new packages!!!!) I can see for example it installs wayland packages, nouveau packages, mesa packages, radeon packages (!), pulse packages (!) libsndfiles (!) , ...

Well, do i need these packages working on SBC with command line? It is a lot of space, is there any way to reduce the space taken ?

Instead of installing all of joy which depends on SDL2 (a multimedia framework) try just installing joy_linux with the package ros-humble-joy-linux.

it works far far better!

2 packages, 212 KB. Top solution, thanks
