Hello,

No idea why this is happening, as apparently no one else is having this issue, but my PS5 controller does not work with linux. I did a clean install of Mint today, and on my old install it was working great. Now, Steam recognizes the controller, testing the inputs shows everything works, and Linux recognizes the controller is connected with the USB, but it is not registering with any game. None of the inputs work, and even more annoyingly pressing the PS button immediately launches steam big picture mode, which I do not want.

I’ve been trying for hours to fix this and everyone else is saying it works great out of the box, but that is the opposite of the case for me. Any advice?

    I figured out the issue. Really weird. Steam compatibility mode was disabled so enabling it made my controller work. No idea why. Thanks for the reply though!

      Pretty much because for some reason it’s broken mess in native games with SDL, and works nicely when using Proton, I noticed that too.
