AppImage download didn't work on my Ubuntu 17.04 laptop...

Added the repo and installed... started up fine... "seemed" to recognize my Steam Controller - but - WHAT does it do? What purpose does the application actually serve? I'm assuming to re-configure a button or an axis to something other than standard?

I don't really want to configure my controller beyond standard - I JUST WANT TO USE GYRO to steer / navigate, especially in driving games! I'm too old (55) to figure out how to use the analog thumbstick...

I'd love to try some of these out (I bought Mad Out and Road Redemption (and also Brutal Legend, which has some driving) and nabbed Dirt! Showdown for free from Humble) - but I've NEVER been able to get the gyro function of my Steam Controller to do SWEET F--K ALL! The only thing the gyro seems to be able to do is drive the cursor in "Steam Big Picture Mode" which is the last f--king thing I need it for - a mouse is just fine for that thank you!

I don't use Windows, so I've no idea what it would be like using the Gyro in driving games on there.... but many many years ago I had a Microsoft Thrust/Side/Winder controller with some sort of gyro and it was pretty good in driving games...

I'm not exactly a "young man" (I'm 55) - and just can't get the hang of the analog thumb stick (despite being left handed!)... Seems such a shame to have a steam controller - but having to resort to using a keyboard and mouse to drive driving games!

Quoting: tomaszgThe torrent seems to be Windows only :(

Dangnabbit!

Waited all day to download torrent (Australian crappy copper network - thanks Turnbull ya c**t!) and turns out to be not native Linux version! :><:

Also thanks for the tip @tomaszg - got it working on Wine (it "just" worked!)...

I've been hanging out for this for like forever... Original Cossacks, and Napoleonic Wars were the only reason I had Wine a few desktops ago (Ubuntu 14.04, 15.04 and elementary freya and Ubuntu 15.10)... Best RTS ever! Wine recently broke a 16.04 install (dependency hell) so I gave up... To play this Natively would be a dream come true!
