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 :/

Weird. I use a ps5 controller on arch, with the zen kernel. The only issue I had is, that the pairing process is somewhat finicky, but nothing that you described.

The binary with pacman / yay. Don't use the flatpak.
