Sorry I'm here not to answer, but actually ask a question as I've recently-ish moved to Linux basically permanently and I plan on focusing a bit more on simracing in the future: what's the issue with Linux? Is it peripherals like steering wheel lacking drivers?
Along with hardware issues, where you may not have access to the software for the wheel or it might just not work at all. Games can also just not work. I know LMU doesn't work, ACC can be a bit spotty at times as well. iRacing seems to be broken.
Unfortunately sim racing on Linux is not a good experience
Thanks for the reply. I see, if a game doesn't run without random crashes or bugs it will likely cost you the race when those happens... hopefully by the time I'm ready, the games are too!
Apparently yes, especially for any non mainstream wheels. Also not great vr support overall
I see, thanks! I'll have to keep that in mind when shopping for HW then. I'm lucky I'm not into VR, so that's one less issue for me
