Udev rules? When I used thunar to look for udev folder and looked in rules folder I couldn't find anything about dualsense let alone playstation.

No, you need the one from Valve, Valve ships the needed rules for a wide number of game pads.

You should see a rule similar to 60-valve-hardware.rules and 60-steam-input.rules

What do I do then?

I searched, cant find it. I do see hid-playstation though.

Search your package manager, there is bound to be a package with the rules, besides the main Steam package.

Edit:

Seems in Mint the package you are looking for is "steam-devices"

In synaptic package manager? I am using the flatpak version, not the debian package version.

That may explain why you donnot have it as part of Steam's installation. The same as the comment above applies, see if you can only install the steam-devices package, alternatively, you can simply copy ans paste the contents (available on github) into an empty file and save it with the proper name.

Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.2 + Steam installed from Mint's Software Manager:

Dualsense gamepad working fine via USB and via Bluetooth, both for games that support it directly and via Steam's advanced controller support

using LMDE6 may yield different results but it's more likely the issue lies with the flatpak version of Steam

So far... I uninstalled all the games on the flatpak version and uninstall, then, I went to LMDE6 software manager and installed Steam debian package version.

I am able so far to get THPS1+2 to work with the dualsense along with katamari damacy, however I cant get it to work wirelessly even though it show up in the bluetooth settings.

What should I do?

Some games will not pick the controller when wireless (some examples include Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor and a few other Unreal Engine [4] based games run in Proton, for a while used to be the case for Elden Ring), I am not entirely sure why this is, also these games just work with Xbox controllers, so my guess is xinput.

double check software manager and make sure 'steam-devices' is installed (may need to reboot for it to initialize). but some games do require dualshock/dualsense controllers to be wired for some reason.

Hello from Arch Linux!

Recently, my DualSense controller stopped working with some Proton games. I believe this is an issue that emerged with a Proton Experimental update. Switching to Proton 9 fixed the issue for me.

Hope this helps for those who've been experiencing controller issues with Steam on Linux recently.

After having issues trying to get my dualshock 3 controller to work I decided to use a dualsense controller instead.

The issue is that it refuses to work. Whether its the standard dualsense controller settings in steam, to adding FWUpdateInstaller.exe to my none steam games with proton, it refuses to work in game. Whether its tony hawk, katamari damacy, it wont work.

I am using LMDE 6 and the kernel version non ubuntu linux mint uses is 6.1.0-22.

Not sure for what its worth to mention but I gave sonys official dualsense firmware another shot but in bottles flatpak instead, I think set proton down to version 7-14 and then I was able to get wireless to work.

Charging is weird, wasn't it suppose to be an orange color when the dualsense is charged with a usb c to usb a cable that transfer speeds up to 480 mbps like a ONN cable?

Regardless if its vanilla arch or other distros like manjaro? Not sure how steamOS 3.5 does it though.
