Linux Bluetooth Controller Connection Detection and Disconnection with Waybar support

Steam's automatic controller disconnect on idle doesn't work for some controllers, 2 types of Sony Dualshocks in my case. Steam can't even disconnect them with an explicit action, it's not just idle detection that's broken. The Dualshock Edge has a small battery so leaving it running when not in use is particularly bad.

This has two short scripts: one to detect connected Bluetooth controllers and the other to disconnect the Bluetooth connection for all connected controllers. Both these scripts can be used with Waybar, configs for which are also included.

The scripts assume controllers are Bluetooth devices with "controller" in their name.

STALKER GAMMA on Linux with Steam - 2025

The Linux support thread in the GAMMA Discord (invite) is a great resource overall. It has videos and up to date resources along with knowledgeable folks to help you. The below works, is short, sweet and sufficient but you may want to go there nevertheless and see what the current state of the GAMMA on Linux art is.

Overview

Mord3rca's neat gamma-launcher tool makes it possible to install STALKER GAMMA natively on Linux bypassing GAMMA's installer which needs Windows to run.

This doc is a short summary of 2 other documents but aimed at using Steam instead of Lutris to run the game.

Morrowind with MGE XE, MWSE-Lua and Mod Organizer 2 on the Steam Deck, 2025

Summary of how to get Morrowind running on the Deck with MGE XE and MWSE-Lua. MO2 is used to manage mods. Includes a method for keeping a desktop (Linux or Windows) in sync with the Steam Deck - useful since you can more easily manage your mods on the desktop with MO2, mlox, TES3Merge, Wrye Mash and then sync all of it over to the Deck.

Setup Morrowind

In Steam's game mode

Install Morrowind on your primary SSD (not your SD card)
- Right click the game in the Library, Properties > Compatibility > tick Specific Proton Version and select 9.0 or Experimental (which is at least 10.0)
Run the game once - this will create a "prefix", essentially a small Windows install that Morrowind will run in
