And racing sims. I was talking to someone on Bluesky and they said the lack of racing sim gear support is holding them back.

Yup. I guess the gist of it is, Linux is great for just general gaming, but if you've got something specific, it's just not there yet. (I see a bit about VR too)

I just make do with running both. Of course would prefer to have everything on Linux, though.

+1 on sims, with so many different peripherals as well as third party software like simhub, even if a base game works on Linux, it effectively doesn't since there is so much integration needed
