In my opinion the next step for Valve is to sell a new Steam machine. It should be possible to build a unique looking small-form-factor PC with decent enough hardware that can play most games at 1080p. right now about 8000 games are verified or playable. This is a huge difference with 2015. Also it would prove that SteamOS is flexible enough to support more hardware than only the Deck. Ideally they launch it with a Steam Controller 2.

Thanks for this tutorial. After years I can finally play Fifa on my main PC. Previous attemps using Lutris/Proton all failed, using Bottles it works fine without having to tweak!

Thanks for the support.
My last problem is solved by replacing the batteries which were empty (just at that very moment)

Thanks Nibiron,
The install was successful now. Unfortunately, the device won't connect :(

I see this when running ./xow

My controller is compatible according to the list on Github:
1537 2013 Original controller Working

I see other people for whom it works well, so I don't understand why it fails on my machine.
The light on the controller flashes quickly after pressing the connect button. I also press it on the dongle. Quite quickly the controller disables itself.

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 and trying to get this to work.
I cloned the Git repo in my home folder. Then I'm following installation instructions. I suppose I have to go into the xow directory I cloned from Git and type:
make BUILD=RELEASE

Then I got the following error:
g++  -Wall -Wpedantic -std=c++11 -MMD -O3 -DCHANNEL=1 -DVERSION=\"v0.4\" -c -o xow.o xow.cpp

libusb library is installed on my machine, so I don't understand. Can someone help/explain/give me a hint to get past this error please?
