I have a gulikit king kong pro 2 (I think I got the name right). Been using it about a year now, works good on linux (Nobara). Has various modes for different consoles and phones and hall effect sensor sticks (which wont have stick drift) which was the motivation for trying it, along with the lower price compared to the official Xbox controller. Came with a nice hard case and rechargeable lithium too.

Been pleasantly surprised so far.

Yep give Nobara a shot if you’re going to reinstall anyways. Bet you’ll change your mind

Yep sounds like firewall issue to me. Allow the ports eric mentioned in his comment thru firewall and it should work

np, glad it helped

One sticky point that took me a bit to clue in to was you need to login to an x11 session not the default Wayland. Unless sunshine has been updated to support wayland, this was about Feb I discovered that.

To change just log out and select x11 in bottom left corner of the login screen. Dont forget to switch back next time if you arent using sunshine

Having tried both popOS and manjaro I’d urge you to skip my trail and error and check out Nobara from the get go. Always found little naggling issues until I found Nobara

Probably need to uninstall the xone driver you already installed from that link. Then open the welcome screen again (super key + type welcome, should be there) and there’s an option to install the xone and xpadneo drivers already setup for nobara on one of the tabs there.

Well this looks amazing. Added to my wishlist on GOG in the hopes it goes on sale sometime since I need to not spend money right now
