Probably. Sony provided upstream Linux with drivers for their controllers, and have been for a while now. The controllers arguably work better on Linux than they do on Windows without third party software/drivers.

It's not arguably imo. My ps controllers worked way better in Linux.

I'm 70% sure that Sony just ported their drivers almost directly from Orbis (the PS4/5 OS) since Orbis is based on FreeBSD, which is POSIX-compliant. Windows is not POSIX-compliant, so they'd need to do more work porting it over.
