    Linux Kernel Driver for the Xbox/ Xbox 360/ Xbox One Controllers

    • The Bluetooth mode should work on any Distribution with Steam installed, as Steam treats it as a regular switch controller. I tested this on Fedora 38 and SteamOS. (Strangely the controller doesn't appear if Steam is not started prior to connecting the controller) The switch controller driver in the Kernel doesn't seem to detect it, so it doesn't work without Steam. The 2.4G dongle works on SteamOS as intended, but I haven't been able to get it working on Fedora. I think said AUR package installes a few udev rules depending on the old xboxdrv, so those should in theory work on any distro. Tho I think this should be easier: https://github.com/paroj/xpad
