I need a wireless controller for my linux laptop (Kubuntu 23.04).

I don't care how it connects (bluetooth dongle). I just want one that works. The most intense game I play is stardew valley.

Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X controllers are very good. I've had some incompatibilities on my computers with older bluetooth hardware though. Speaking practically, I'd recommend the Xbox one as it's slightly cheaper, takes regular replaceable batteries. Subjectively, I prefer the PS5 controller (I like the feel, and the trackpad is really handy), but I've already had to replace the lithium ion battery in mine. (Had to do the same with my older PS4 controller too)

@TxTechnician Xbox One S controllers work pretty well on Bluetooth. I can connect 4 controllers at the same time but more than 2 is not really stable. And if you don't mind some tweaking, they work better with https://atar-axis.github.io/xpadneo/.
I also used Logitech F310 without any problem. Oh, and steam controller works well too.

8BitDo SN30 Pro works great. I'm using the Xbox edition that's meant to only work on Android with Game Pass thanks to xpadneo drivers
