Sounds like the HDD is dying, maybe check it’s S.M.A.R.T. status? Most drives have statistics for errors and such

I’m sorry, I forgot to mention that you have to press the PS button once after plugging it in. Did you do that?

If that doesn’t work try restarting Steam and look into your controller settings if it works there, if it does you’re good to go

Keep in mind that many games don’t natively support Playstation controllers. You can work arround this by emulating an Xbox controller instead (enabling your PS4 controller in Steam should do just that for Steam games). Or alternatively do this regedit edit in your games Wineprefix to achieve the same in any launcher of your choice

If all else fails it might be worth trying out ds4drv

Good luck my guy and (hopefully) have fun gaming! :)

According to this article on the Arch wiki PS4 controllers should work without doing anything. Just plug them in and start gaming 😉

I absotutely love zram. Makes my 32gb ram feel endless even when splurging it on things no sane person would ever need

Was kinda complicated to use a swapfile as backing device though
