Steam Linux Issues:
Trying to connect a PS5 controller to Steam Linux but is not being picked up
What I've determined:
- I'm using the most recent release of Mint, was necessary to solve graphics card/audio headaches
- Controller can be detected and connect via Bluetooth, it's not a driver or compatibility issue to my knowledge
- Connecting the controller via cable to the computer got it recognized
But not via bluetooth.
For this to work for my situation it either needs to be wireless or have a really long cable... I'm like 9 feet (2.5m) away from the screen and computer.
I tried most of the quick and dirty online tutorials, none of them seemed to work
If you know how to troubleshoot this it would be appreciated, thanks!
If anyone else out there can figure out why Bluetooth isn't being picked up by Steam Linux for some reason
