Device not connecting
I just swapped to Mint OS 22.1 x86_64 from Windows, and I am having trouble having my Stream deck Neo connect to Stream controller & Open deck. I made sure to remove the Stream controller flat pack after it glitched out one day and the app would not open up. Is the Neo not supported, or is there something else that I need to do?

Nvm, I just found out about installing the rules, and I got an exit code error when on pip3 install --user streamdeck_ui --break-system-packages.

The other part of the log message. I have Pillow installed and calling the pip install pillow returns this
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Requirement already satisfied: Pillow in ./.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages (11.2.1)

OpenDeck doesn't use pip.
Are there maybe old udev rules applied? Did you restart your pc after OpenDeck installation?
I restarted, and nothing still
Anything in the logs?
How did you install OpenDeck?
And may I ask why you tried to use pip for OpenDeck?
@MCv2 OpenDeck doesn't use Python at all
it looks like you're trying to install streamdeck-ui
