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!

    I’m actually using a ps5 controller and have mapped the dpad left and right to use keyboard input for a mod. If I don’t use those buttons for 15 minutes or so I get kicked out of game with this garbage popup, every time! At his point I’m fed up and ready to leave KDE. Been using KDE for 6 years and have seen so many poor design decisions but you could always go into the settings and fix it. This I guess has no fix.

      Before Wayland was a thing, Steam used a X11 extension to send Mouse and Keyboard presses, which means that for a while, if you used Wayland you couldn’t emulate KB+M with your controller at all.
      A while so long, that someone created a work around. Extest is a “adapter” that simulates the old X11 extension Steam was using and sends the keypresses using its own virtual input device, therefore completely bypassing the pop-ups.
      While that wasn’t its intended function, and it is technically unnecessary now that Steam has added support for the proper ‘Wayland way of doing things’, I can confirm it still works just fine. I use Steam input all the time with no annoying pop-ups.

      It can be a bit annoying to install however. If you’re using Arch, grab it from the AUR. Bazzite ships with it OOTB, I believe.

      Are you using Steam Input Settings to map those dpad buttons? If so, try setting that back to default, then use AntiMicroX to map keyboard input to your dpad instead.
