I've been using a PS5 controller lately. I'm on Windows, but I think it works on Linux. I also launch every game through Steam, which handles compatibility issues well.
The Steam controller is my favorite, but I wanted something that I could buy replacements for, so I started using a PS5 controller. The touchbar is not really useful (hard to reach and pretty imprecise), but it does have a gyro for aiming in FPS games. And I play a few racing games, so I wanted analog triggers, which the Switch controllers don't have.
I bought an upgraded one from aimcontrollers.com, just to get some clicky microswitches on the d-pad, face buttons, and shoulder buttons. I hate how much I paid for it, but I do love some clicky buttons. Having looked at their site just now when posting this, apparently they now offer hall effect joysticks, too. So I might need another one. 😬
edit: Just realized that this was posted in linux_gaming. Well, I'm still pretty sure that PS5 controllers work on Linux. And I'll be switching soon anyway, since my perfectly good PC doesn't meet the requirements for Windows 11.
