Linux Update Adds Native Support for Joy-Con 2 and Pro Controller 2

The latest Linux 7.4 update has added native support for new Nintendo controllers: Joy-Con 2, Pro Controller 2, and the classic GameCube controller.

Nintendo Gamepads Now Work "Out of the Box" on Linux

The open-source operating system Linux continues to actively expand capabilities for gamers. The fresh kernel update to version 7.4 brought welcome changes for owners of Nintendo accessories: native drivers for current controllers were integrated into the system.

Which Controllers Are Supported

According to the Linux 7.4 changelog, the OS now officially recognizes and supports the following devices:

  • Joy-Con 2;
  • Pro Controller 2;
  • Classic GameCube controller.

This allows players to connect the new Switch 2 controllers as well as the classic GameCube directly to a Linux-powered PC and use them in games without the need to install third-party utilities or configure complex driver emulators.
