Hi, earlier I was able to use the Dualshock controller on Ubuntu fully functionally, but since last upgrade right joystick moves 'an invisible cursor' only inside Steam.

Is anybody using the PS4 controller fully functionally in any Linux distro?

Yes.
Worked for me on Kubuntu, Arch and now on Manjaro.

    Are you able to move the cursor with the joystick outside Steam or games?

    No, the desktop isn’t supposed to react to controller inputs anyway.

    If you want to use your joystick as a mouse (and do other things too) you can use AntiMicroX. Note that you’ll have to close the app or disable remapping once you want to use the controller for a game.
