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.

Current state of SimRacing in Linux (Updated to 2022-2)
Vdrift: Another veteran game, based on the Vamos physics engine. With almost 15 years behind it, the game allows players to drive lots of cars through detailed scenarios based on real circuits. The physics of the game are quite realistic as it corresponds to a simulator, and of course we will be able to use it with multiple devices such as keyboards, controllers and steering wheels, including the experimental support of Force Feedback. The project that looks in certain aspects like a commercial game, is stopped, with small corrections in the code as we can see in the page of the project. As we have heard from its main creator, Joe Venzon, it would be ideal if someone resume the project or make a fork to create something completely new. Hopefully this will happen and that this remarkable project will continue and not be forgotten. More info in the VDrift website and in his project page.

Sim racing in Linux 2020 an update
Good and amazing post. Thanks for talk about my outdated post. Really new-lg4ff and the work on Proton and Wine changes a lot of things on the simracing on Linux. I would like to point some things on your words: -About Vdrift and Speed Dreams: the first project is almost abandoned, and only there are some minor corrections on main code. There are no new features. About the game resources (cars and tracks), in the last months an user create two new tracks for the game, Algarve and Baku.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing hid-fanatecff and vdrift you can also consider the following projects:
hid-tmff2 - Linux kernel module for Thrustmaster T300RS, T248 and (experimental) TX, T128, T-GT II and TS-XW wheels
pyLinuxWheel
new-lg4ff - Experimental Logitech force feedback module for Linux
winfile - Original Windows File Manager (winfile) with enhancements
