I was messing around and made a deb file on Ubuntu 15.10 to install the Driver Station. There is no .desktop file right now. So to launch it you have to type qdriverstation in the terminal.

For those who are curious, I made the package running this command:
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev qtcreator qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5multimediawidgets5 libqt5multimedia5-plugins libqt5multimedia5 && git clone
https://github.com/WinT-3794/QDriverStation.git && cd QDriverStation && qmake && make && sudo make install
$ checkinstall
after i answer all of checkinstall questions it built the deb file.
if you have a problem building you might have to set qt5 as default if you have multiple version installed which you can do with " sudo apt-get install qt5-default ".
