At least when I open up Mac OS, it doesn’t show me a pop up ad telling me how XBOX CONTROLLERS COME IN SO MANY COLORS NOW click here to buy.
I’ve gotten that pop up the last 3 times I’ve booted up my windows machine.
Windows is great for gaming. But it’s the only thing I turn that machine on for.
Gaming on Linux is pretty legit now. I don't even boot into windows very often. In recent memory, only one AAA game didn't work out of the box for me that required booting into windows.
No joke, most of my games work better on Linux because of proton than my Windows box. Such a nice experience.
Same here. Linux just need rolling gameplay recording and better controller support (steering wheels for one) and for me it'd be set. I know Decky has it for the Steam Deck but I haven't seen one for desktop that works fine on Wayland.
Have a rather „expensive“ sim racing rig and would love to switch over to Linux again. But it’s simply a niche in a niche so I don’t expect any surprises in the near future. Too bad
Yeah, sim racing is very much left out in the Linux world, if not pretty janky. Virtual reality isn't doing too hot here either, Valve just announced Steam Link for the Oculus headsets, and right now it's Windows only.
TBF I haven't actually tried Asetto Corsa with my steering wheel, or XPlane with my VR headset on Linux yet I just assumed it wouldn't work. As soon as they do, I can't wait to shitcan Windows forever.
I've tried Euro Truck Sim 2 with my G29, which was built for PlayStation but can work on PC with drivers on both Windows and Linux. On Linux, PS4 mode doesn't work on Linux, but PS3 mode does - the main thing is you lose the speed indicators on your wheel, if you really want them speed lights you'll have to go Windows and install G HUB.
Some say PS3 mode disables clutch support since that was the case when using it on a PS3 but IDK if this is the case on PC and specifically Linux. Cursory search points towards no.
That's useful to know that it at least mostly works. I should really try it out with my Thrustmaster T300, I could be pleasantly surprised. I use an Oculus Quest 2 headset, which requires Meta's app to run on Windows, so not sure how that would pan out.
If I could one day be playing BeamNG, with my FFB wheel, in VR, on Linux - I will have truly attained nirvana.
Used it before but not for rolling recordings. I heard it can be janky with hotkeys on Wayland, but I'll have to give it a shot.
Highly recommend this feels exactly like I still have shadowplay with no performance loss.
