a) Getting bluetooth connectivity to work took wasn't exactly simple. It involved adding a kernel flag to GRUB.
b) To get firmware updates, I still have to use the Xbox Accessories app on the Windows Store. Which I don't have.
Is there such a controller that is basically plug-and-play and can receive firmware updates through a native Linux application?

* It is plug-and-play. On older kernels (AFAIK 5.13 and higher required) it may not work.
* I am on KDE so as soon as I plug it and hit PS button, Bluedevil (the bluetooth daemon) asks if I trust the device or not. This notification appears every time when plugged with cable and I have to accept it every time.
* After trusting and unplugging, bluetooth is also automatic. The controller remembers only the last device it is connected to so if I want to use it with PS3 then I have to wire it to PS3. Then for using on PC, I have to plug it to PC again.
* No firmware updates
* Bonus: I can see the battery status of the DS3 on the system tray if on KDE. (AFAIK needs kde 5.24 or higher)

Bonus: they are usually cheap in used conditions (and probably unbreakable as well)

Other than that, I agree with Upscale that the Wii U pro is nice and the Switch pro also works fine (but is kind of pricey and I don't like that it has buttons instead of triggers). I believe the newest Sony controllers also work well but I've only tried up to a DS4.

I can recommend GameSir (T4-Pro, wireless) and Logitech (F310, wired). These brands are quality and I trust them.
