Hi guys.

Just started looking at using Linux on my main pc. I don't use it too often these days but I like to play around with my pc.

I tried Fedora and it seems fine. I chose Fedora 41 as I wanted to have working Nvidia drivers and secure boot. Got that working but then I tried to use my wireless Xbox series X controller and had no luck getting it working. I tried to install xone but was getting errors.

I've tried Ubuntu is the past but just wasn't to my liking. Linux mint was ok but didn't like the available desktop environments.

I know Nobara is available, but I'd prefer to have something minimal and be able to configure everything myself to my liking.

I'm not so fussed about which distro. Can anyone recommend something that works with: Nvidia drivers Secure boot xone (or something else)

I like the gnome desktop environment.

Thanks. ☮️❤️

    Happy to try an Arch based distro if it meets my needs. I have Cachyos downloaded but not looked into it yet.

    What’s the advantage of using the wireless adapter over bluetooth for the controller?

      I get a little bit of interference using Bluetooth every now and then that I never have using the wireless adapter. It isn't very often though.

    Bazzite, perhaps? I don't have the dongle but all of my controllers have worked with it out of the box and I have a couple weird ones. It's gaming focused so you might have some luck with it.

    Also as others have said: xone.
