Well people who own the official Xbox One wireless adapter will have to disagree since that requires firmware with an incompatible licence and won't get into the kernel. If you want to not use the poor Bluetooth on Xbone controllers or have an older controller that does not have Bluetooth you'll have to use this. Plus this release gives publicity to the project which the previous owner neglected since he went MIA twice.
It's trash hardware.
Xbone owners should be shaming ms into oblivion for making the kernel have to pollute itself with this garbage.
Note how ps5 controllers need 'power' (optional).
or maybe it is sexual preference? holding playstation controller feels little like holding turds. dont like em at all.
I can respect that, I just think there should be a lot of pressure on MSFT to reprogram firmware to support linux natively.
The kernel has been desperately trying to move away from these 1-off, quirky drivers as they're impossible to maintain.
