I have a fedora server running sway and sunshine. I'm having a problem where this rule (https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/blob/8765bbf050a18dcaf441851e5e52505a6c709c48/src_assets/linux/misc/60-sunshine.rules) isn't firing, so the controller stays with root permissions instead of belonging to the input group and it messes things up. I'm not sure why it wont fire that rule.

When I told you udev rules aren't the problem. Now you're trying to make it seem like Steam is a problem? What in the world...🤦

no, steam is the symptom because it only happens in steam and steam games. changing the permissions on /dev/hidraw0 fixes that, but that device is destroyed after each session and recreated on new sessions, so manually assigning a group isnt viable.

Kid...multiple people told you about steam-input. See my other comments.

OK, there’s definitely a communication issue here. Rather than arguing with each other could you point me specifically to what you’re talking about with this comment?
