I've recently switched from Pop OS to Garuda because I wanted to just try another distro. Garuda looked really nice and the KDE Gaming image feels so smooth in the UI. However, I cannot get either my XBox 360 Wireless nor the wired controller to work. In Pop OS, they worked right out of the box with no issue.
In my case, the 4 lights around the Logo button just flash. Sometimes, it might register finally but when I try to use them in any Steam games, the controller is not working in the games at all.
In Pop OS, I had no issue what-so-ever and never had to do anything special to get it to work, so I'm not sure what is going on with Garuda. I really want to stay with Garuda, but I might have to switch back to Pop OS if I can't get the controllers to work.
Doing lsusb, I can see the XBox 360 receiver is there but for whatever reason, it just won't work.
I've searched and can't find a solution to this at all. As I stated, it works in Pop OS but not Garuda.
Here is my output from garuda-inxi:
