That’s simply false. The driver already exists, and they still refuse to add support. There’s a ticket about it on the SteamOS github page if you don’t believe me. Link.
EDIT: There’s a decky plugin for those (like me) tired of waiting. Link.
Or the part where I said if it was stable? Or where I explicitly acknowledged the out of tree driver that’s a PITA?
The main detail here to answer is if the package has widespread testing and support over a long term, there’s a higher chance that a mainline package will present minimal to no additional overhead to maintain by SteamOS devs compared to an AUR package.
Meanwhile, the xbox controller usb dongle still hasn’t received support.
I’m sure if you get that in as a stable mainline kernel module, they’ll turn it on.
As someone who tried to get the out of tree drivers to work reliably for years, good luck.

Lol, which part? The part where I said they would turn it on if it was in the mainline kernel?

I guess thanks for doing the leg work on proving me right?
