I have an 8BitDo Pro 2 controller I've used a bunch without issue on Windows, now I'm moving to Linux (Mint specifically) and I'm having trouble getting the controller to work. It's supposed to work with Linux, but I can't get it to work. Steam doesn't detect the controller in its settings.

Just to tag on to this, I only needed to enable the uinput module to fix my issue (steam suddenly stopped seeing my 8BitDo controller when it previously could). Didn't have to do anything with udev rules.
