  • Yes, because back when I was learning almost 20 years ago I was able to google terms and read stuff for myself and it was also requirement for posting on forums, yet I was still getting a lot of help from the community. Times has changed it seems, so did the culture. Should I always assume ignorance and lack of interest? And now before I saw your comment I responded more comprehensively anyway, because why not, I’m not mad or anything. Should I take more time to write the response the first time around? Uh maybe idk


  • Desktop environments or window managers that support Wayland (one of the two displaying systems for Linux, newer one with aim to replace the obsolete one) and already implemented color management protocol in their compositors (programs that compose the image that is being displayed).

    In essence, everything that has recent version of Plasma 6 or current version of Hyperland is able to do HDR. Soon there will be new version of GNOME that does that too.

    Sooo… not Linux Mint, not Debian stable, not Ubuntu LTS.





  • Hi there, having two dualsense and one ps4 controller, using them for ages on Linux and they mostly run great, but your issues doesn’t sound completely new either.

    It’s very important on how you installed Steam and whether it’s native package or Flatpak. For Flatpak you might need special udev rules to allow the controller inside sandbox, usually can be installed using steam-devices package.

    As others said, enable Playstation Controller support in Steam’s controller settings page.

    Check if Steam overlay is functioning. In-game, press Shift+Tab and you should see the overlay and then you should be able to get to controller settings. Try out both with Steam Input enabled and disabled - by default I guess it depends on the game, but mostly enabling it will make it work for games that have issues picking up ds natively.

    Test your controllers using something like jstest-gtk. Perhaps there is something else connected that acts as player 1 controller.
