@pb, I tried that, but I get permission errors when trying to download in xterm.

How-to: Minecraft with the Steam Controller on Linux desktop and SteamOS
12 Nov 2015 at 10:45 pm UTC

Quoting: MayeulCIt's a great idea to put tutorial like these on this site, most notably for people who are new to Linux/SteamOS

I think it would be great if someone could post here a tutorial explaining how to get emulators running, as well as installing a package manager. I do not have time to do it myself yet, but if it hasn't been done by the time I get some spare time in my hands, I'll write one for sure. I've pointed out Lutris as a possible solution in the past, but I don't really know if it's difficult to get it running on SteamOS.
Edit : the official Minecraft launcher is publicly available from here [External Link], as listed there [External Link]. I don't really see why you didn't include it.
You're right, I didn't even realise that was the legal download in the original script.

I have updated it now to not make people download Minecraft.

Looks Like Road Redemption Is Finally On Its Way To Linux
12 Nov 2015 at 9:50 am UTC

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionIt's already on Linux. I have a copy sitting in my Steam library right now.
Just being in your Steam library means nothing, it simply means it has information in the backend to show up. It's probably not installable.

Quoting: adolsonLiam,For the gyro, I think a lot of people turn the sensitivity way down, and use it for fine-aiming. As for the button to activate it, I would suggest trying to assign it to whatever you use for iron sights, as that's probably when you're going to want to be using the fine-tuning anyhow. And don't worry - it won't remove your actual iron sights binding.
That's a brilliant idea, and one I just didn't think of, I love that idea so much I'm going to try it first thing!!

Edit: It's really weird, not sure if it's actually any more accurate than sticking to the left pad.

Instead of the thumb-stick being precise in clicking through items in Steam Big Picture mode it will suddenly act like it’s slipping on ice and skip over items really quickly. It will start doing double button presses on a single press, and just generally act weirdly. It has never happened during actual gameplay, only when interacting with Steam Big Picture mode. Once it starts acting up though, it won’t use the configs set for games, and then it becomes a bigger issue. It’s not a signal issue either, as it happens when wired. It’s like it suddenly forgets all the configs set for it, or something like that.
I've had this happen, mostly starting a week ago or so (at least, I don't remember the double button presses prior to the latest firmware update). I thought I was just being incredibly clumsy with the stick and the button presses, so I'm kind of glad you have the issue too and it's a bug and not me. Have you found a reliable way to reset it to working condition?
Nope. I have found no way to reset it back to normal other than luck.

X3: Reunion, X3: Albion Prelude And X3: Terran Conflict Now DRM Free On GOG
11 Nov 2015 at 3:26 pm UTC

Quoting: pete910I'll just point out that the steam versions are DRM free too. you can run them without steam running/starting
You still need the Steam client running to download them, there's been debates on this but that's still a small form of DRM to some people.

Anyway, let's not turn this into a DRM war heh.

Quoting: TcheyHm, strange, i can only see Windows and MacOSX in System Requirements.

Thanks
They just haven't added system requirements in, but the SteamOS icon is there and yes I double checked it is on Linux, like I always do ;)
