  • xow

    Linux driver for the Xbox One wireless dongle

  • This is one of the pain points with linux. You probably will have a transition where you are going to have to figure out what devices you have work and find alternatives. I highly recommend sticking to things that have linux kernel support instead of things that need tinkering. I use an Xbox One S controller both wired with a magnetic USB cable and over Bluetooth. The official dongle works with xow but it appears development has stopped on that project. Like i said look for kernel support. Plenty of articles on the internet that are about "best controllers with linux" https://github.com/medusalix/xow

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
