Maybe a dumb question, the biggest reason I can’t fully move is i do enjoy VR and sim racing, both of which I’ve seen have limited linux support still, and though I enjoy figuring things out and fixing stuff, I don’t want to always be tinkering instead of just racing/gaming.
Would it be possible or safe to keep gaming on win 10 until it’s totally not supported, but not using it for any shopping etc where sensitive info is being transferred ?
I did just order a 2 tb drive to put linux mint on, to give gaming on linux another try. I haven’t had a linux install for a few years now and kind of miss it. But i do wonder if I’ll need to reinstall all my games again or can just access them off the existing hard drives (I know, NTFS formatted wont be optimum for linux).
If I’m in the wrong spot to ask, please inform.
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
