PS5 controller with Steam on Linux (lemm.ee)

Hi, I would like to ask if you have any experience with the PS5 controller with Steam on Linux. Steam crashes (segfault) everytime I connect the PS5 to my pc regardless bluetooth or usb :/

One particular setup with my pc is I am using the linux zen kernel on arch instead of the mainline kernel. Does anyone of you have similar setup with me and has the PS5 controller working ?

Thank you very much!

Edit: forgot to mention that I could use the PS5 dualsense as a mouse and use dualsensectl to control it so i guess it is more or less a Steam problem :/

yay I choose the PS5 controller because I like its ergonomics more but I will probably have to go to the same route as you :/

also do you zen kernel or the mainline kernel and which version of kernel you are using ?
