Yesterday, I made this post about getting my old Xbox 360 controller working wirelessly on Manjaro. The comments suggested using xpadneo- more specifically xpadneo-dkms. xpadneo-dkms only works Xbox One and Series X controllers. Doing a little more research, I came across xboxdrv. I installed the AUR package but gave me an error message saying that I was missing two dependencies: scons and glib2-devel. scons installed with but glib2-devel has been a bit tricky. If I used yay -S glib2-devel it returns this error: -> No AUR package found for glib2-devel there is nothing to do. If I use sudo pacman -S glib2-devel it returns this error: error: target not found: glib2-devel. I could go on but we would be here all day. Any help? Thanks in advance.

    The AUR is for Arch and trying to use it on a different distro will have mixed results at best.

    You can either wait for Manjaro to catch up and add the glib2-devel package which was created over a month ago, or edit the plgbuild and change it to glib2

        You can always use Endeavour OS. It’s Arch with a nice installer and some utilities already installed to make it easier to use and maintain. It uses Arch repositories, so for all intents and purposes, it is Arch. Manjaro is not.
