Sounds like the HDD is dying, maybe check it's S.M.A.R.T. status? Most drives have statistics for errors and such

Prison Break

Felt like every season got worse and worse

JS is not slow.

Since JS is single threaded it can be pretty slow compared to anything being able to use multiple threads

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that you have to press the PS button once after plugging it in. Did you do that?

If that doesn't work try restarting Steam and look into your controller settings if it works there, if it does you're good to go

Keep in mind that many games don't natively support Playstation controllers. You can work arround this by emulating an Xbox controller instead (enabling your PS4 controller in Steam should do just that for Steam games). Or alternatively do this regedit edit in your games Wineprefix to achieve the same in any launcher of your choice

If all else fails it might be worth trying out ds4drv

Good luck my guy and (hopefully) have fun gaming! :)

According to this article on the Arch wiki PS4 controllers should work without doing anything. Just plug them in and start gaming 😉

That's definitely possible but would make the host OS unusable while the VM is running afaik. Why not dual boot at that point?

With GPU passthrough you can get almost native performance. This requires 2 GPUs though (iGPU as second one should suffice), dunno about the input lag and stability though as I only have one GPU

Without it though? Not even worth trying

This has always been the case when "buying" things on Steam. Almost every digital good you buy is like that

Only thing that changed is legislation is finally catching up and these companies won't be allowed to use the word purchase/buy anymore in the near future

Mostly nothing, but it's enough to stop fully automated patching/modding the Playstore like Lucky Patcher does
