I need a wireless controller for my linux laptop (Kubuntu 23.04).
I don’t care how it connects (bluetooth dongle). I just want one that works. The most intense game I play is stardew valley.
8BitDo SN30 Pro works great. I’m using the Xbox edition that’s meant to only work on Android with Game Pass thanks to xpadneo drivers
The Xbox one is good and it’s the standard layout on PC, so this is probably your pick.
I love my Steam Controller since is very customizable and a pretty unique hardware, but it may require config steps.
8bitdo stuff is usually good but pay attention on layout buttons.
Never tested a PS controller on PC but Steam should allow to play some game with the PS buttons on screen.

Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X controllers are very good. I’ve had some incompatibilities on my computers with older bluetooth hardware though. Speaking practically, I’d recommend the Xbox one as it’s slightly cheaper, takes regular replaceable batteries. Subjectively, I prefer the PS5 controller (I like the feel, and the trackpad is really handy), but I’ve already had to replace the lithium ion battery in mine. (Had to do the same with my older PS4 controller too)
You should be able to use pretty much any Bluetooth controller just try to avoid the Bluetooth low Energie LE controller my stadia controller that i resenty bought doesn’t work on many distos Nobara no problem if you use arch forget it
