Searched for a few weeks and could not find any solid solution. Found a KDE thread that said it was a issue with flatpak but I don't even have flatpak installed. Others say it's Wayland, Do non KDE users on wayland get this too?

I know it's for security but it's too damned annoying to be worth it! Should I setup a tiling WM and be done with it? It really is that bad.

All I want to do is play Skyrim without seeing this every 15 minutes!

There is no way the PS layout is more comfortable. The left joystick is where it is on every other controller because that is where your thumb goes naturally.

Even on the other side, the face buttons are used much more commonly than the right stick in most cases. So they put the face buttons there because it's where your thumb naturally goes.

Typically it's not enough more uncomfortable to complain about it if I was like playing at a friend's place (not that that happens anymore in these last generations, but it was huuuuuuuge in the early 90s), but still more than enough of a difference to never buy one.

What is the argument that the asymmetrical comfort zones you seem to have for each hand make any sense? The joystick placement may be cockeyed, but where your thumbs are comfortable should not be. I just can't understand the argument by PS layout fanboys. Hence the question.

It is objectively not as comfortable to hold your thumb out of position.

At least assuming your hands are symmetrical. Maybe for you it is more accurate to do that, but it is not more comfortable.
