    I think that has been replaced with the xone package? The arch wiki recommended that at least. I am sometimes not sure I am ready for Linux. Been trying the past year to switch using a handful of different distros and they always have issues, a lack of features or I manage to break them. Like now my screen also flickers (probably HDR or vrr related) and I can’t find anything about it. And sleep is broken. And visual glitches. You catch my drift? Haha

      Hm, well it looks like others have been putting out some good troubleshooting tips for the controller. Linux should have kernel modules to deal with every controller and it’s wireless. I know my Dualsense works wirelessly out of the box with everything because of the hid_playstation module

      Sleep and hibernation is a well known common issue. I feel like its more hardware related than software, as some people have no issue and some need to do a little tinkering to get it to work. I know my PC will hibernate but not sleep. Or vice versa. I can never remember because I don’t like my PC going to sleep on principle. I haven’t done any troubleshooting because I don’t use it anyway. I just know there are a ton of fixes floating around on the web for you to try.

      Flickering and visual glitches is something I used to have. I used to get weird diagonal lines across my screen when certain colors would be in a certain position. There’s a few things that could do this. First, if you’re using an Nvidia card, be sure to use proprietary drivers on Linux install rather than Nouveau. Nouveau is getting better, but still isn’t quite ready for gaming imo.

      Second, you could try another video output. I fixed my diagonal lines by switching from Display Port to HDMI. My friend suggested it and I was sure it wouldn’t work, but to my surprise it did. Third, if you’re using Wayland you could try to switch to X11 (or vice versa if you’re using X11).
