Thanks for the suggestion. I am still using my crusty old launch day Xbox One and the original launch day controllers for it. All of the hardware is working great, and somehow I have a lot of those controllers. But that generation of hardware uses their proprietary wireless interface rather than bluetooth. There is a cute little $20 generic dongle you can buy for this, and it works great on for example the raspberry pi I use with steam link. For some reason though the kernel driver did not properly load on my debian system. This is where I encountered the discord based support chat. I did post some info there and got some suggestions, but I really dislike discord for working on software issues. Github Issues works extremely well for me for this.
