Uh... now I'm confused. If the script you ran to install the driver didn't complain -- as in, print any errors or warnings -- then it should work automatically on next reboot. I don't get why you put Xbox in there... [confused]. As for why you shouldn't use Vinux, well, for one, the distribution hasn't been updated in years, and for two, if you do update it yourself, it absolutely and totally breaks everything. So not only are you stuck with out-of-date software, your stuck with an old version of Ubuntu which should've been updated to 17.04/17.10 by now. But it seems as if the Vinux devs could care less...
If your new to Linux, I'd recommend either Ubuntu or Debian. Both are good, both are stable. I'd recommend Arch Linux, but that's for those who enjoy full flexibility of how their system is built. (Of course, if you really enjoy digging into the super technical aspect of how this and that works and how you can change this and that, use Gentoo... if you enjoy really, really long install times... and also enjoy a hell of a lot of risk...)
