Linux en met name Ubuntu is heerlijk om mee te werken en het is nog GRATIS!! ja GRATIS!! ook. Nu is het al een tijdje mogelijk om je PlayStation 4 controller hier op aan te sluiten, maar was het niet echt mogelijk om te zien hoeveel sap er nog in je batterijen zat. Maar dankzij de website OMG Ubuntu kan je er nu op wijzen dat er een extension voor is die het wel doet, maar daar over kan je hier onder meer lezen en zien.

Using a DualShock 4 controller on Ubuntu?

If so, you may find the following new GNOME extension a handy thing to have around.

It's called 'Dual Shock 4 battery percentage' and, in an unexpected and not at all predictable twist, it lets you see PS4 controller battery level on the GNOME desktop.

Nothing more, and nothing less.

'you don't have to open a separate app window to see the battery level'

The "point" of this extension is that you don't have to open a separate app window or click on a menu to see the battery level as It's there, on screen, in the GNOME top bar whenever the controller is connected.

A perfect passive approach that doesn't encroach on some windowed gaming.

Not owning a PS4 I can't test this particular extension out first hand, nor can I attest to how well the PS4 controller works on Linux in general. That said, reports from Reddit and YouTube (see below) do suggest that the PS4 controller works decently "out of the box" on Linux as a standard HID controller.
