afaik xone (the kernel driver for the Xbox One dongle) still isn't part of the linux kernel (neither mainline or steam deck kernel)
the gamepad itself works fine though, only the adapter dongle sucks
since you can also connect the newer Xbox gamepads via bluetooth, it seems like not many people actually care about it
Gotcha. I get that the newer Xbone controllers have BT, but:
Its just frustrating the 360 adapter "just works" but this newer one doesn't.
I wonder if there's any easy way to install something like xow on SteamOS
By the way here's the Arch Wiki page for gamepads. The Xbox One controller section is 3.6
xow isn't supported anymore and already gives problems with newer libusb versions
but xone (the sucessor of xow) will no longer work after a SteamOS update due to the immutable filesystem of the Steam Deck, you would need to set it up after every update again
