You might want to file a bug report so they can grab some info from you that could help an updater get pushed sooner and help others.
Very glad you got up and running. Hopefully they will get a better update pushed out soon.

Hay if the restore works might hold off on doing an update for a few days just too see if kubuntu had pushed a bad update. If they did they did they should fix it pretty quickly when they get a bunch of people with broken systems.
I haven’t used timeshift in at least three years so Im going to give you this instead of relying on my possibly faulty memory.

Yes try to do that first. First research how to restore from timeshift backup so you do it properly.
Does ethernet work?
Did you chroot and reupdate? You might want to reuse timeshift to roll back before doing so.
Could also try going back a couple timeshifts ago.
Have yiu tried making sure network manager is enabled and started?
sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager
sudo systemctl start NetworkManager
From a live USB do you have networking?

I want linux to be as welcoming as possible to everyone and the newbie qiestion of what distro to use will come up a lot. I dont think it’s helpful in any way to bicker about why my choice in linux is better. We should be giving them the tools to make the best decision for themselves
What if we built a beginners linux community (Linux, Where Do I Start -> LWDIS) and point to all the distros communities, and on those distro specific communities they had beginner friendly install, setup, rice, maintenance instructions and advice along with a difficulty rating. I don’t know if stickies are a thing here but could be helpful in keeping relevant info on top. This could be a place for fanboys to shine on there favorite distro while keeping the basic inclusive LWDIS community free of bickering about distros that might cause confusion and turn people off.
Not a mistake but a fun reminder that the terminal can be a very fun place!

So you went to the game, clicked on the gamepad icon on the bottom right of the game banner and selected enable steam input? Then selected a controller layout? I think its a little strange steam makes you do this per game as well as its general desktop setting.
Also did you try from a live usb environment? That was good advice as it could be something you/mimt installed after setup. Also you did do a checksum of your ISO before you burnt your install medium?
And there is no strange errors when starting steam from a terminal and running your game?
And you tried the steam beta?
If you have done all that might consider filing a bug report on steam.
Sometimes its worth waiting a few days for an update, might sort itself out.
It would make sense that the setting to enable PS input was not enabled. I have had this issue before after a fresh install as i had forgotten to enable the input. I remember being very pissed about it then feeling dumb. I hope that’s it cause its a simple fix.
Did you try to pair it with bt just to see if that works? Thats all I got. Hope someone comes along with some other options.
Ignore the bt part then. Id start with steam beta and see if that works. Then try a newer kernel? Worth a shot.
Im an arch user, a few days ago the same happened after an update of sdl3 and sdl2_compat. I switched to steam beta and things worked.
Might try completely removing the controller from bluetooth, rebooting and repairing.
Might make sure your using the same kernel that the other people are using. Been a very long time since i used mint and dont know how easy it is to change kernels but might be worth a shot.
You could write a simple python script using
datetime
andpyperclip
. Datetime would supply the date format and pyperclip to copy that to your clipboard. You could setup a key binding to call the script then[Ctrl + v]
to paste.I believe all linix distros have python installed OTB.
There are probably a bash solution but my bash is rubbish.
