The HID subsystem changes were merged into the Linux 7.0 kernel this week, marking an expansion in supported human interface devices. This update brings official support for Rock Band 4 guitars from both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles. Phoronix highlighted that the work included "supporting more guitars while also adding more device IDs and different laptop quirks." These additions enhance compatibility and functionality for a broader range of hardware on Linux, aiming to improve the out-of-the-box experience for users with various gaming peripherals and specific laptop models.
