Have you tried the latest beta as of today?

I tried latest beta as of today and it doesn't seem to work (via bluetooth). It works in gnome but it doesn't show up in Steam (beta). openSUSE Tumbleweed (rolling distro)

I changed back to normal steam (non beta).

Would including this script fix it: https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/1693795812304458372/ ?

I saw the the beta was talking about udev fixes being included, I guess they missed this one.
