I too am really excited and on the fence right now. Only thing holding me back is the uncertainty of driver stuff regarding linux. I am using the G29 as of now and am looking at the ready to race bundle from fanatec - has anyone here any experience with fanatec drivers under arch/manjaro linux?
Hey, did you ever try this? I'm in the exact same boat - been running a G29 for quite some time and looking to upgrade...
I actually bought into the fanatec bundle a couple months ago, yea. The basic functionality worked, but I must say that the feeling of the force feedback felt off under Linux - hard to describe though. I feel bad to say this, but simracing is the only reason for me to have a dual booted windows workstation for now :(
All the cool hard- and software stuff that I was missing out, left me longing for windows compatability.
You could definitely give it a try though. Like I said, most of it was and is already there in form of these drivers: https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff
Thank you so much! This is actually exactly what I was afraid of - and knowing myself, I'll barely ever use the wheel if I have to reboot into Windows for it...guess I'll stick with my trusty G29 for a little longer. Hope the Fanatec stuff is going to mature a bit in in the future - the Github repo does seem to be pretty active, so let's see :)
