Sim racer here, finding it hard to race on Bazzite. Any help? (thelemmy.club)

Hi all. I recently came to Bazzite after being a Windows snob for, well, ever. The single player games I play and Hell Let Loose work great, but I am struggling to get my racing sims to work. All the games are through Steam, howver I think it is likely to be the non-native support for Simhub, Moza and SimLabs Race Director software. Are there any sim racing Bazzite users here that could offer some advice? I have tried a few online guides via YouTube, but I'm coming up short. Any advice would be appreciated.

Bazzite might be the wrong distro for you. Being immutable means you have fewer options for building out specialized hardware support.

You could also try using Bottles to make yourself a dedicated Bottle/prefix for your sims. You would then put everything you need — games and tools — inside that Bottle. There are many ways to do this, but I consider Bottles the easiest to learn and use.

Being immutable means you have fewer options for building out specialized hardware support.

With Distrobox you can install any Linux software you could on any other distro. Immutable isn't the hurdle people make it out to be. It's just different than what people have been used to for so long.
