Anyone can help me? I wasn't able to find any solution for this. The controller works via USB-C just fine but I only have a very short cable, I borrowed the controller from a friend to try it and don't have the original cable but I was intending to play via Bluetooth anyways.

Basically, I can find the controller via pairing mode but when I try to pair it I get error:

The Setup of Dual Sense wireless Controller has failed.

After that I can see it in available wireless devices but when I try to connect to it it will immediately disconnect again, checked with bluetoothctl.

Using on-board Intel AX200 wireless controller.

I had the same issue on Nobara KDE which is the same as Fedora KDE. The issue was with bluez the bluetooth api, version 5.69 is broken. Either you can downgrade it or wait for an update. To downgrade, use the command line "sudo dnf downgrade bluez" to downgrade bluez to 5.68 which is working for me.

That actually worked! Thanks!

I'm assuming you've already verified that other bluetooth devices work as expected.

A different distro (e.g. Debian Stable) might help narrow down the problem, as their kernels tend to be built with different options and their packages sometimes have different default configurations. Be sure to look for helpful messages in dmesg and syslog/journalctl.

After that, the next thing I would try is a USB bluetooth dongle. Some bluetooth modules don't work well with Sony's controllers, and it's possible that the one on your motherboard is among them.

To be fair I'm fairly new to Linux, idk what half of the stuff you mentioned means. I don't plan switching distro.

For what it's worth, same issue happens to me on Kinoite as well. On an AMD board. With AMD 6E/Bluetooth.

My wi-fi works fine and my Bluetooth works fine for audio/headphones so I hadn't realized it was an issue until I got a new dualsense on sale a few weeks back and have been playing corded this entire time 😅
