(How good) Does the XBox One Controller work on Linux?

I'd like to know if there is a chance to get the XBox One Wireless Controller to (fully) work on Linux (Ubuntu and Arch to be specific).

I saw packages like xpad and xboxdrv which looks promising, but I would like to know from someone who uses it:

 

1) does it work wireless and/or wired?

2) does the headphone jack work?

3) Is the experience (installation and usage) rather buggy or does it work fine

4) what is your overall rating of the gamepad / would you recommend it to someone like me who needs precise analog inputs (I do glitches that require precise aiming / player angle adjustments)?

 

I'm afraid that MS put in some 'special sauce' which makes it really hard or impossible to use it on other systems than XBox and Windows. 

My current, cheap gamepad has really bad jittering analog inputs after not even a month of moderate use. I'm not able to compensate this enough by calibrating without rendering it unusable for performing certain glitches. 

 

If you have other gamepad recommendations for me, feel free to post them.

 

 

Thank You
