From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

PS5 Controller Not Working - Linux Mint (lemmy.world)

submitted 3 days ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hello,

No idea why this is happening, as apparently no one else is having this issue, but my PS5 controller does not work with linux. I did a clean install of Mint today, and on my old install it was working great. Now, Steam recognizes the controller, testing the inputs shows everything works, and Linux recognizes the controller is connected with the USB, but it is not registering with any game. None of the inputs work, and even more annoyingly pressing the PS button immediately launches steam big picture mode, which I do not want.

I've been trying for hours to fix this and everyone else is saying it works great out of the box, but that is the opposite of the case for me. Any advice?

What do you mean checksum of the iso? The tool I used said the usb was successfully flashed.

How would I go about testing this in USB Live mode?

Disregard I figured out how to use checksum. The ISO is fine the hashes match
