Me and my 2 other friends were planning to play fifa on my computer last night. I have 3 gamepads. One is xbox one controller. I use cachy os and I couldn't connect my xbox gamepad. I connected it actually but the laptop was not able to understand that was a gamepad. It didn't worked. I tried for 1 hour and my friends just laught ar me because of i use linux. And the worst part, if it was windows we would have no problem. Anyway, do you have any suggestions cause i thought cachy might not be the best option for gaming. I dont want dual boot my laptop, i hate windows

Just did a quick search and yeah apparently there aren't really xbox controller drivers included in the kernel from what i can tell. I assumed it would just work cause it has been the case for all the controllers i tried, but i have never even owned an xbox controller so i never tested that. I figured such a popular controller surely would work ootb, but i guess not.

    My XBone controller works perfectly fine with my Linux PC. No tinkering required. BT sees it and connects right away.
