how to allow only steam to not cause remote controll popup. - moquber - 2026-03-17
in steam i have it configured so that using a controller combination i can change the volume. however, whenever i do so for the first time and after not using that for a while, a popup asks for confirmation
the popup window title is "remote control"
the popup content is
"an application is as asking for special privileges
-remote control"
while it seems there are ways to disable the popup outright system wide, i do not wish to do so because there is probably a good reason it exists. what i would like to do is to make it so that only steam gets special permission and it doesnt ask if steam does it.
p.s.: i am still quite new to linux, so if i asked this in the wrong place, please kindly direct me to the correct one.
i am on Garuda Dr460nized Gaming with the default kde desktop environment that shipped withit
furthermore: i dont freking know if this is the right place. i have tried garudalinux reddit, but it doesnt allow support posts. i tried to sign up to garudalinux forum that it directed me to, but the veryfication email didnt send. i tried to post it on linux4noobs, but the it kept being banned by reddits filters. at this point please i beg you, if you know the answer to this problem, do answer, because i could not for the life of me find a better place to post this.
