8bitdo and flydigi controllers support
-
I run Bazzite and I have a few 8bitdo controllers. I've only ever used them via bluetooth, but once they are paired they work perfectly.
I do have a Thunderobot G45 I use via dongle. It plugs in and works, no configuration or software needed. And after I set up my system settings properly, I can also use it to wake the system from sleep. But that was a Linux thing, had nothing to do with the controller.
Any of the major distros will probably work with any big-name game controller.

I've been trying for a while, but nothing works. Do I have to be in steam game mode, or can it be done on normal desktop mine on Cachy OS?

I don't remember all the steps, but it had nothing to do with the controller itself.
I had to edit system configuration - I entered the identifier of the motherboard USB device, and I told the system to allow it to wake the system from sleep. I'd have to search for the actual steps.

Man, that would be great if you could find the steps. I've tried doing that, but it failed. I even tried to find it in the BIOS and found nothing.

Here you go, I found the links I started from. I'm on Bazzite, but Fedora and Debian seem to work similarly around this.
Edit to add: I just looked up Cachy, I see that it's Arch. I'm not sure if Arch configures this in the same way, but hopefully this will at least lead you In the right direction.

Thank you so much. Saving this comment. I really appreciate it. And if it doesn't work then it doesn't work, I don't care. I'll be switching my son's PC to be a bazzite console soon, so this comment will definitely not go to waste.
