I use a PS5 controller and it worked great right out of the box. It also has the added bonus that you can use the touchpad on it as a trackpad to control your mouse cursor.
PS4 controller forever. It ‘just works’ and I’m used to it after the decades. Can’t stand the PS5 controller. It feels too big like the first xbox controller.
I would it is a higher percentage compared to the population that does not have a steam deck. Still a majority of Steam Deck + Windows PC owners though.
I alternate between a PS4 controller and Switch Pro controller. Overall I think the PS4 controller is more comfortable and the touchpad on it is really convenient for using as a mouse.
I looked through the webpage and github repo but still don’t understand. What is the purpose of Proton-Qt? Lutris and Steam have their “which version to use” settings. What does this tool add?
To my knowledge it’s how you install the proton compatibility layer. That doesn’t just come with steam, right? You’re just telling the game which version to attempt to use, right?
Steam has a list of proton versions to choose from in the compatibility settings of the game. When you select one it downloads it automatically. You should only have to download a proton version manually if you want to use the Glorious Eggroll versions, or if you really need a specific version that steam doesn’t list, at least as far as i’m aware.
I’ve been playing Baldur’s Gate 3 in Proton ever since the Early Access released and it works fantastically in Linux! Can’t wait for it to be released in August.
8BitDo ultimate 2.4GHz is amazing. Uses a usb dongle for low latency, but the latest update also enabled a bluetooth mode. It also has a charging dock and the best dpad I’ve used.
Yeah I was a staunch user of the Dual Sense but once I got the charging dock and low latency with the 8bitdo I haven’t looked back. Also back buttons are handy
Oh yeah I forgot it had back buttons, they’re always useful for games that aren’t optimized for controllers. Especially with steam input, since you can make radial menus to do a lot of things.

Many games even run better on linux with proton than on windows, due to package bundling and stuff. Though the games I play the most already have native linux support.
I keep hearing this, but I personally have yet to see it. Definitely most of my games run just as well on linux, but otherwise some of them are still glitchy.
Don’t get me wrong, I'll never go back to Windows, I love Linux, but what are these games that run better on Linux?
was on windows getting about 30fps and struggling to run, so I used a ported dxvk dll someone mentioned, it is on github (I'll post the link when I find it)
straight to 60fps, no more frame drops. it was crazy.
edit: I was on an AMD gpu, iirc I don't think people on nvidia had the same problem
As I understand, it’s not common, but when it does happen it’s really because vulkan is just that much better than the original directx implementation, even with DXVK working to translate all the system calls.
