Pairing the Xbox One controller in Linux

Sometimes, the Xbox One controller won't pair in Linux, instead connecting and disconnecting rapidly. To fix that:

• Install xone.
• Disable ERTM: echo 'Y' | sudo tee /sys/module/bluetooth/parameters/disable_ertm
• Pair!

That should be all that's required, your controller should now be paired.
