Nintendo issues DMCA takedown for Switch homebrew projects
I think it depends on your computer's bluetooth hardware.
Mine reports itself as a Cambridge Silicon Radio USB device 0A12:0001, and works great with recent Sony controllers, while people with some other dongles have reported lag and/or unstable connections.
This list is a bit old, but perhaps a good place to start:

ds4drv doesn't work
If you go into the ds4drv settings, does any device show up? Did you try following the instructions under the "Using" section on GitHub? https://github.com/chrippa/ds4drv

DS4Windows equivalent?
I found ds4drv after perusing ArchWiki for a while. It seems to support emulating an xbox 360 controller.

DS4Windows on Linux
By default, evdevhook currently has an axis inverted on the DualSense, which you can fix with a simple config file change.

Motion Control in yuzu?
As suggested at https://github.com/FrogTheFrog/steam-gyro-for-cemuhook/issues/47 you could try out using https://github.com/v1993/evdevhook. My Steam Deck arrives Q2 so I can't tell you if this works at all - would be cool if you/someone could tell us :).

TIL: you can use a PS5 controller as touchpad on Linux (out of the box)
Motion controls work. For emulators that need a cemuhook-style DSU protocol server, check out the evdevhook project.

DualSense on Lutris
I'm on POP OS and my dualsense controller works fine. I followed this guide though (https://christitus.com/ultimate-linux-gaming-guide/) to install the xanmod kernel which might have the dualsense drivers in it. When I finished setting up everything I just pressed the Share + Playstation button the dualsense controller then searched for devices on the bluetooth device manager. Besides that evdevhook (https://github.com/v1993/evdevhook) is good for motion controls on CEMU and Dolphin.

How do I enable gyro support for a switch pro controller on linux?
Joaorb64's joycond-cemuhook and v1993's evdevhook are probably your best options. I can't speak on either since I've used neither.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ds4drv and evdevhook you can also consider the following projects:
DS4Windows - Like those other ds4tools, but sexier
cemu-no-gyro - Maps analog sticks to motion controls for Cemu.
pyPS4Controller - Light module (less than 30KB) without any dependencies designed to provide hooks for PS4 Controller events
joycond-cemuhook - Support for cemuhook's UDP protocol for joycond devices
kmonad - An advanced keyboard manager
steam-gyro-for-cemuhook - App to add Steam Controller's motion support to Cemuhook
Control-Surveillance-Raspberry-Pi-Robot-by-PS4-Controller
OpenRCT2 - An open source re-implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 🎢
linux - Linux kernel source tree
bluez - Main BlueZ tree
keyd - A key remapping daemon for linux.
linuxmotehook2 - Cemuhook UDP server for WiiMotes on Linux
