Distro with working Xbox wireless adapter

Linux@lemmy.ml – 38 points – 2 days ago

Hi guys.

Just started looking at using Linux on my main pc. I don't use it too often these days but I like to play around with my pc.

I tried Fedora and it seems fine. I chose Fedora 41 as I wanted to have working Nvidia drivers and secure boot. Got that working but then I tried to use my wireless Xbox series X controller and had no luck getting it working. I tried to install xone but was getting errors.

I've tried Ubuntu is the past but just wasn't to my liking. Linux mint was ok but didn't like the available desktop environments.

I know Nobara is available, but I'd prefer to have something minimal and be able to configure everything myself to my liking.

I'm not so fussed about which distro. Can anyone recommend something that works with: Nvidia drivers Secure boot xone (or something else)

I like the gnome desktop environment.

Thanks. ☮️❤️

I couldn't get that working on Fedora 41. Which distro do you use? Thanks

Maintainer has been absent for some time so kernel v6.11 and v6.12 isn't supported OOTB, to get it to work with kernel v6.11 you need to pull the fix from: !48

Or install the working fork instead: https://github.com/dlundqvist/xone

Thanks! The error I was getting did mention the kernel.

I got it working on LMDE6. If you are using secure boot you may need to mess around with that.

I install it from AUR on EndeavourOS

Have you tried CachyOS? I've been considering 1 of these 2. Was leaning more to Cachy.
