Just a public PSA and was a little sad. I thought the latest kernel updates would address this. Until then, when you plug the official Xbox Wireless USB in- nothing happens.

The 360 Wireless USB adapter still works tho for some reason. 10+ years and its still kicking.

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

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
