NTFS messes up
Did you mount it with the correct flags?
-
How do I use multiple hard drives on Kubuntu for steam?
there is a hack to try and use your existing windows game install from an NTFS drive, but i don't recommend it as steam will try to save file names that are not allowed on NTFS...plus ext4 is faster.

Game crashes within 10 seconds of launching unless I reinstall from scratch
From a quick search, here's what I found. It looks like you're encountering some common issues that can occur with games running on Linux through Proton, especially with the recent updates to games like Satisfactory that might affect compatibility. The log entries you're seeing related to D3DCompile2 failing to compile shader and the issues with Ternary operator and LinearToSrgbBranching not being defined, suggest that there's a problem with shader compilation. This can often be related to the version of Proton or the graphics drivers you are using. Some users have reported that the game does launch with the -vulkan option but with graphical glitches and lower performance, which indicates that the Vulkan renderer is working but possibly not optimally on your setup. From the discussions in the community, users have suggested ensuring that the latest drivers for your graphics card are installed and, if using an Intel GPU, that the Mesa drivers are up to date since Intel XeSS references were found in the logs. If you're using NVIDIA graphics, make sure you have the latest drivers and possibly set the PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% to enable DLSS if you're under Vulkan. If you're using an Optimus laptop with both Intel and NVIDIA GPUs, make sure your Optimus setup is correctly configured. Some users have found success by specifying DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAMES=GeForce to force the game to use the NVIDIA GPU. It's also worth noting that if you're encountering issues with DirectX 11, you might want to try forcing the game to use DirectX 10 if possible or look into DXVK configurations that could resolve compatibility issues. Lastly, if none of these solutions work, you could try running a trace with apitrace to gather more detailed logs that might point to the specific issue. If you're still stuck, it would be a good idea to report the issue to the Proton GitHub page or seek further assistance in the game's community forums where others might have encountered and solved similar issues. For more information and to find others who might have resolved similar issues, check out the community discussions on GitHub, Steam Community, and the DXVK GitHub page.

A quick question about simracing on Linux/SteamOS
But... sim racing is an exception. Most of the games will work (though not iRacing), but support for the hardware is not there. If you google around, you'll find a lot of projects like this one), that are clearly of the "well, if you compile this thing, and you tweak a bunch of configs, maybe it'll mostly work in some games most of the time, if you're lucky" variety.

Linux and Fanatec DD
- Installed hid-fanatec to get it working with FFB (https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff)
-
amirite
The fanatec wheel should be supported by this HID driver, but I have not tested it out. And the Rift S is just a no go.
-
Steamdeck
Yep oversteer in combo with the hid-famatefff driver is likey the best bet.
-
Wheel FFB
there's oversteer: https://github.com/berarma/oversteer which says it works with your wheel once you also add this module: https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff

Sim racing on Linux/Steam Deck 2022 an update
Fanatec Wheels, Probably the biggest update in 2021 we had, there is now a community driver on Github https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff That has the elite and sport working and appears to be experimental with the DD setups. I do not have a fantec wheel to test this.
-
Question: Is there any direct drive that works on Linux?
The CSL DD has experimental support with this driver https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff
-
These type of people are the reason why no one uses Linux
I'm using the CSL: DD, Logitech shifter and clubsport v2 pedals, there is support at the moment for the CSL DD https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff but it's experimental and some games don't work right now like the f1 games and beamng and I use simhub for my dashes which isn't on linux. so sadly there isn't much for linux options in my case.
-
Are there currently any Direct Drive racing wheels for driving sim/gaming available that work on Linux?
Not completely true. There exists a driver for Thrustmaster T300: https://github.com/Kimplul/hid-tmff2 Other wheels I also have seen supported are some fanatec wheels: https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff
-
Microsoft is testing ads in the Windows 11 File Explorer
If your wheel pedal and shifter is of the Fanatec kind, there is a driver on github.
