Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

No udev rules, device specific udev rules) and what was the outcome = No joystick being detected by Steam in big picture, input device nodes created, see able by Wine controller configuration. What game did i try to check if controller is being Detected: Warframe
How did you do this? I enabled xboxdrv Since steam doesn't detect my controller im forced to use xboxdrv.service and even that it partially works.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Connect a Logitech chillstream controller and don't start xboxdrv.service
  2. Go into Big picture mode and go into Settings and controller settings
  3. Enable all rules to be sure that its a bug.
  4. Bug reproduced
    5.Because Steam won't detect the controller it will crash Warframe within 5 mins

What are my udev rules
cd /etc/udev/rules.d/60-logitech.rules

Logitech chillstream support got added to Steam at around July 2023. It works fine now out of the box.
