Hey
After many goings on and with the help of Discourse users I have managed to get Steam working.
My last hurdle appears to be the controls. I control my games with a keyboard and mouse. Steam, however, appears to default to what I can only imagine is some sort of Playstation type steam device. It asks me to push the B button to save. I have no idea what that is (and I did goole a fair bit).
Ubuntu Version:
24.04LTS Kernel 6.14
Desktop Environment (if applicable):
GNome
Steam defaults to controller buttons
Keychron wireless keyboard, wired mouse. No controllers
What I’ve Tried:
Looked around the steam menus for some form of toggle, found nothing
Please help !
Thanks, Pete
Some hardware specs may help others to help you!

Is there any Apple products involved? We simply need more information. 
Is that happening for all games? Are you using Steam in in big picture mode? That’s made to be used with a controller. Otherwise it could be a game that requires a controller.
I’ve currently only one game installed, Fallout 76.
I don’t want to commit fully to 'Nux at this point, because so far all it’s done is give me grief.
And if i can’t get FO76 to work it’s simply not worth the hassle.
And I see no point in posting full machine specs and config files either. Maybe it would be wiser to ask this question on the Steam support forum though. I don’t think it’s a Linux issue. Why would it ask for a controller if there is none ?

Aside from being in big picture mode I’ve never had steam default to a game controller when I wasn’t using one.

They still want hardware specs.
This makes it hard for me to support, but good luck!
