Flatpack OBS

Flatpack OBS is a weird beast (as all flatpacks surely are), but many consider it to be the only way to use OBS on their Linux system. At least on Manjaro, the default "permissions" of flatpacks disallow controller access. That is fixable, but opens a can of worms of its own. If you're okay with that, add --filesystem=/run/udev --device=all to your .desktop file/launch script.
Mine ended up looking like this:

/usr/bin/flatpak run --filesystem=/run/udev --device=all --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=obs com.obsproject.Studio
