what controller are you using?
Elite Series 2
are you sure the controller works anywhere?
is the controller displayed if you type xinput into the terminal? (Alt+F2 might open a runner, then type xterm)
It does work on steam games. or at least the two I've tried. Barony and Steel and Rabbit.
Let me boot back into Linux and try that one sec
xinput doesn't work at all says not recognized. This might be a distro issue.
and this is a semi-immutable Linux so I'm not sure how to properly install things that aren't found in the app-store yet. I'm going to try consulting the Bazzite discord. Steam games work amazingly, Tetr.io is one of the few non-steam games that I play.
KDE does show it as being recognized though
yeah not sure what this distro is really
Fedora. Also, solved it.
In Steam
Settings > Steam Settings > Controller > Non-game Controller layouts > Desktop Layout > Enable steam input > Gamepad.
This allowed outside applications to recognize the controller properly!
It's just a SteamOS but for desktop type of Distro. I usually use Ubuntu but I wanted to try something different that keeps drivers more up to date.
