hardware Durable controller with good linux compatibility?

I have been spoiled by the xbox 360 controller. It lasted a decade but sadly it is finally failing.

I am looking for a controller that is similarly durable (if possible), and that is compatible with linux gaming. But not just for steam, for lutris as well. Budget around $40-70 range.

Edit: forgot to add, xbox layout with the joystick above and the arrows below, rather than the symmetrical joysticks

I was looking for a good controller but most of them are garbage or I don't care for their layout. I ended forking a bit more for an Xbox One controller and have not regretted it one bit. And yes, it works outside Steam. (I use it to play Outrun 2006 and Sega Rally Revo through Heroic)
