Random sleepy ramble.
Hey I’m new to Linux and mint seems like the easiest to switch over to coming from windows. I have had trouble with pairing Bluetooth PS4 controllers and emulating them as xinput. I used ds4drv but that’s a little outdated now. Also I noticed that catchyos just works after pairing it on my other PC. So I spent a while trying to get mint to work without the need of ds4drv, it kept pairing as a wireless controller that wasn’t detected as an actual controller through steam or anything else… I tracked that down to an issue with the Bluetooth manager and maybe missing udev rules so now I can connect using a different manager and it comes up as a PS4 controller…but now I think I need ds4drv to emulate it as xinput so I’ve came full circle.
My question is do I need ds4drv to be using a Sony controller as xinput and also how does catchyos do it without ds4drv? And should I just screw Linux mint and switch to Catchyos?
Thank you all for your help 💜 I’ve been going crazy over it for ages now
Absolutely. One of the best parts of the Linux experience is the community helping each other in so many places on the internet.
EndeavourOS is terminal centric. If you try it out you might need to learn some new tricks, but its forums are fantastic and I rarely have issues with it. Cachy is supposed to be really good too.
