Description

Hi,

I am running Handheld Edition on two pcs. Both with NVidia cards. One on Intel i5-9400T/3050 LP and one on Ryzen 5900X/3080 Ti. Works wonderful so far.

However I've seen that there weren't any support for XBox gamepads right out the box. For this some packages are needed:
```
sudo pacman -S linux-cachyos-deckify-headers
paru -S xone-dkms-git xone-dongle-firmware xpadneo-dkms
```

I believe the kernel headers are already installed, but I listed them as dependency.
Currently `xone-dkms` 0.3.4-1 has a breaking bug preventing the gamepads to be detected. `xone-dkms-git` is still on 0.3.1.r0.g197b160-1 which hasn't the function breaking bug yet. Additionally xpadneo established itself as a modern alternative but both packages can coexist between each other.

This could be automatically added, when detecting a Xbox One/Series controller and/or a MS (or derivate) dongle for 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity. This would improve the experience of any XBox controller user.

Thanks for considering.
