Developers shipping broken ports and unfinished games (at a $70 price tag) has hit the sweet spot for linux gaming.
I have been messing with preseeding a debian install with the packages I need and maybe toying around with the kernel for native gamepad support. I found a project that appears to fix some of the gamepad support issue when trying to run emulated games from steam -gamepadui (passing controllers to Ryujinx or dolphin leads to disconnect issues).

Controller players, What is your preferred controller?
I've been using MoltenGamepad (https://github.com/jgeumlek/MoltenGamepad) on Linux. It'll handle mapping all the buttons, IR, accel/gyro, nunchuck, etc. It works pretty well once you figure out the config files. I'm not sure if there's an equivalent for Windows though. IMO the a wiimote with the sensor bar works pretty good controlling the mouse for a media PC connected to your TV.

Virtual Controller Input for Games?
I thought of this, but I am also using FFXIV Launcher and piping that through Steam seems to break wine. MoltenGamepad seems perfect so far, but I appreciate your suggestion!

Getting a Ps5 controller working via Bluetooth in GOG Cyberpunk 2077
You can use ds360 if you want to play wirelessly - it'll emulate your DualSense as XInput controller and CP2077 will discover it just fine.

PS5 controller doesn't work perfectly. Some axis and some buttons are switched. Can I fix this easily or will I have to map it with controller mapper software? I'm on latest PopOS
to circumvent this we need to use a gamepad emulator: https://github.com/yoyossef/ds360

Issues with dualsense games in wine/proton
Windows games expect to receive xbox controller input. That's the problem. To fix this you either need to map dualsense accordingly ( archwiki_controller) ) or use ds360

Playstation 5 controllers do NOT work outside of steam. (pop os/ubuntu)
I'm using ds360 for dualsense in garuda linux. No idea if PS5 controller should work in pop_os as xbox controller by default.
