I’m clueless about Linux, so I tried it. It seems to be just working for me for most of my Steam library, at least with Proton Experimental. I don’t have a XBone controller, but my SteelSeries knockoff does fine. That said, I have no idea what might cause it to break. (Though, it doesn’t seem to like my mechanical hard drives much.)

(I use bazzite, btw ;) )

This is the advice I came here looking for. I’m intimidated by the switch and have no time, but if there’s a distro that’s easy to get going, I’m there for it. I’ll check it out!
