I remember few years ago (or like 5 years ago) when I was switching to windows on and off. Maximum of 1 year I switch to Linux, in a few months I switch back.
Thanks to Steam contribution (and all the devs at winehq/dxvk), I stayed on Linux for more than a year and not planning to swith back. My favorite fps game is insurgency sandstorm.:) works great on Linux
Are we looking at the same list? There are like 50 games in here that I own in the first few tabs - and more that I have heard of, there is so much that is at risk.
Try running bluetoothctl from the commandline and playing around with it. This article is for Gentoo but you can go through the manual steps in “Device pairing” and maybe you’ll be able to identify the issue.
Looking at bluetooth logs could also be useful. If the service is called bluetooth on Mint, try running:
<span style="color:#323232;">journalctl -u bluetooth
</span>
My input isn’t going to be very useful but as a point of data, I’ve never had trouble with my 8bitdo controllers and Linux.
Sometimes they don’t pair right away on the Switch, but Linux has been fine.
Now I’m trying to remember which controller I used to test Yuzu…
Weird as it is, I’ve heard launching games through Steam Big Picture mode with the controller connected can help but that might just be more a key mapping thing than anything else.
When I was doing some research on this, I saw most guides suggest installing various xbox controller driver shims. I can easily imagine the steam controller mapping fulfilling the same role.
But yeah. I have an ultimate whatever the hell (the xbox-like with hall effect sticks) that I connect with the dongle and no issues in Ubuntu. Never tried to pair with my linux PC using bluetooth. Only issue I have is that getting the various 8bitdo software suites running in wine is a bit of a headache but there is a phone app that works more than well enough.
Not a Linux user but I had a lot of problems with the sn30 pro plus connecting to bluetooth when I first got it. The issue was something in the controller bios. It’d cause my entire system to spaz out. I had to roll back to the first version to fix it. So maybe try messing around with bios versions if you can to see if that fixes it.
Very, but you’ll need a windows environment to do it. They only have windows or mac updaters. After that, it’s just plugging it in and picking the version. Looks like there’s only 2 updates, but it’s still worth a shot.
I’m assuming you’ve already verified that other bluetooth devices work as expected.
A different distro (e.g. Debian Stable) might help narrow down the problem, as their kernels tend to be built with different options and their packages sometimes have different default configurations. Be sure to look for helpful messages in dmesg and syslog/journalctl.
After that, the next thing I would try is a USB bluetooth dongle. Some bluetooth modules don’t work well with Sony’s controllers, and it’s possible that the one on your motherboard is among them.
