Lots of PCs are poised to fall off the Windows 10 update cliff one year from today

Recently decided to try Linux for gaming. It wasn’t without a hitch or two, but largely fine. A number of games I play don’t even need an emulation tool like Proton.
The only reason windows was lying around was for gaming.
Looks like it’ll only get used for flight simulation.
Same here but for sim racing
Peripherals. AFAIK Fanatec gear doesn't run on Linux yet.
There are some drivers: https://jugandoenlinux.com/tutoriales/volantes.html
Thanks for this. I'm kinda concerned about attempting this on my current machine. I've got it set up as a music studio PC with Steam as a secondary feature. It works great with all my recording peripherals so I'm hesitant to introduce additional complexity to it with these drivers. I'd like to move away from Win entirely but its not exactly a do or die situation for me right now.
My linux install is on its own SDD separate from Win. I only use WIN for simracing and counter-strike so that use case is very limited. Also I don't think iRacing's anti-cheat runs on Linux yet? I'll have to investigate.
As far as I know, iRacing isn't working on Linux properly. I tried ACC and rFactor 2. But you'd better ask here: https://matrix.to/#/#simracer:matrix.org
