I have an 8BitDo Pro 2 controller I've used a bunch without issue on Windows, now I'm moving to Linux (Mint specifically) and I'm having trouble getting the controller to work. It's supposed to work with Linux, but I can't get it to work. Steam doesn't detect the controller in its settings.

I don't recall getting a dongle with it, I used Bluetooth before I think

    If it's the Pro2 the dongle should be in the charging base under a little flap. When I get home I can take a pic if needed. To be clear: I am not running Linux but I had this issue attempting to use the controller Bluetooth without using the dongle.

    EDIT: I am using the Ultimate 2, not the Pro2, this may not apply. I apologize.
