Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch
Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes but it doesn't matter either way
Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] N/A
Steps for reproducing this issue:
Have a Steam install set up, play a few games etc
Close Steam
Delete your ~/.steam/steamapps/workshop folder
Start Steam
The Steam Controller will no longer function in any game with Steam Input and all action origins will be None.
Big Picture will work fine.
Re-downloading an official or community config from the Controller Configuration in the overlay or Big Picture will not fix the issue.

I think Steam should be more resilient to this folder going missing as it's in the Steam Apps directory and I would not expect that removing it would brick my controller until I reinstall Steam from scratch.
