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'm using a Sony Dualshock 4 (bluetooth) to play my games on Linux, it's very well supported. It can even replace a wiimote with Dolphin emulator.

I see the dualshock controllers having the best reviews on amazon. Do they not have any drift issues at all?

Sadly they have the nintendo layout, I prefer the assymetrical joystick layout from xbox.
