I use the 8BitDo Ultimate, the one with the Xbox button layout (A bottom, B right) as opposed to the Switch layout one.
It works out of the box under openSUSE Tumbleweed for example. Steam recognizes it (make sure you have steam-devices installed) just fine.
Keep in mind that 8BitDo's firmware update tool isn't available for Linux though. It might work via Wine but I didn't try it. There's a button remapping software also available for Windows. Didn't try it under Linux either, but the profiles are saved to the controller so once set up, you don't need the software.
