Hi, I was curious to know if there is any way to connect my dualshock 4 via bluetooth to linux. Wired works fine but the USB port on the controller is very loose and the controller disconnects easily, which is very annoying.

On windows I used ds4windows which worked great. On Linux I tried ds4drv which worked at first but broke after I upgraded to mint 22, I tried a bunch of stuff to fix it but couldn’t get it to work.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Update: on mint when you connect the dualshock controller the LED on it glows light blue and it doesnt work, then a notification appears asking you to authenticate the connection, click yes and the LED will turn blue and the controller will work ( you can test it on desktop by using the touchpad as a mouse). It seems either I missed this message before or it didnt appear for some reason.

    It should work I believe. used it on Opensuse tumbleweed, Fedora, bazzite, and CachyOS. Just by turning Bluetooth on and pairing it.
