From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Distro with working Xbox wireless adapter (lemm.ee)

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. ☮️❤️

You install the xone driver and distro doesn’t matter. Can confirm it works with my Xbox wireless adapter.

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.
