You could already run the firmware updater with Proton/Wine though? At least I didn't have an issue with that, but its obviously not helpful to everyone considering the many flavours of linux. Nice that they recognize and are at least trying to address the issue though

Their firmware updater is so trash that it doesn't work on Windows. I never got it to recognize my controller. Hopefully this one is better.

I got it working on Wine eventually but I do recall having to hunt down instructions for the terminal so it would properly read my USB port. It was definitely confusing, and I'm glad I won't have to remember all the steps again.

Yep that's the downside, I know fuckall about Linux relatively speaking, so I was lucky CachyOS just ran it and my wired controller got recognized.
