Xbox controller driver needs to be reinstalled constantly (feddit.nu)

I'm on Fedora and I use the xone driver for a wireless Xbox One X/S controller. Every time I update the kernel the xone driver disappears so I need to reinstall it constantly (I assume it's because of how Fedora handles backup kernel versions). It was not like this back when I was using an arch based distro so is there a way I can make this not happen or is it just Fedora being Fedora?

Edit: turned out something has happened with DKMS when I installed xone. I removed the xone dkms module, deleted the files associated with it and then reinstalled xone so now it works again.

I read that on the GitHub page too, but for some reason DKMS doesn't work when I install it with the script from the repo.

Do you have an error message? Is dkms failing during the install, or is it just not rebuilding the modules when a new kernel is built?

After checking again I see that I get the error "could not locate dkms.conf" when I run the install script. I am googling solutions but if you have any ideas I would be glad to hear them!

DKMS is installed and I dont recall seeing any error message when I run the xone install script, but I would have to check when I have time to make sure I didnt miss anything
