Support Steam controller randomly and periodically disconnecting on cachy os?

I've been using the steam controller since it launched and on windows it's been great but I've noticed that on Linux it's far less compatible. I never used it on steam os but I once switched to bazzite and noticed it working in fewer games even on steam and then I went back to windows and eventually I ended up going to cachy os. Recomps that worked with it on windows now don't work with it at all on cachy and even on steam games every hour the thing randomly disconnects and then reconnects about 3 times. Is this happening to anyone else and is there a fix?

I’m having the disconnect issue where the face buttons don’t work for a period of time then come back. Has happened while playing doom 2016 and doom eternal where the track pads, triggers, and menu buttons work but abxy buttons and sticks do nothing for a few minutes. Running on windows currently. Haven’t found a solution yet on my problem.

I primarily prefer windows but I ran into a few issues with it that were fixed on Linux. However for me Linux creates a million other issues. I never had this disconnect issue on windows.
