new-lg4ff VS EnderChest

I found that the above comes in two variants, PS/PC and XBOX/PC. While the former is currently supported via an external driver (new-lg4ff), the latter has native kernel support. While I do expect to have a smoother experience with the native module, the custom driver claims to have a richer feature set than the native hid-logitech module (differences).

Go to the game settings and adjust the FF levels. (Except if you're on Linux, you'll also need the experimental kernel module, as the stock one has only rudimentary FF support).

The people Behind the logitech driver new-lg4ff most logitech wheels work fantastic now.

On Linux there's libratbag/Piper for keyboards and mice and new-lg4ff/Oversteer for steering wheels, if you want to take a look at how they do some things or straight up just fork them and port to Windows.

You want this for your G29 if you haven't already installed it. I will admit that sim racing is a blind spot in Proton's support, but this should at least fix some of the wheel-related problems.

In my opinion the best (community) support at the moment is from Logitech. I have one and it works very well with the new-lg4ff driver. I know the creator, u/berarma, and I know that the support is active. If you need an opinion on models, the G27 (second hand) or the G29 work great on Linux with new-lg4ff.

I'm never buying another console again. PC ports or emulation from now on. Steam is super convenient, but honestly my ideal ecosystem would be DRM-free titles that don't phone home. I have the technical knowhow to do my own "cloud" saves and config syncs (though the package I wrote to do it is currently mid-rewrite).

If by some chance your PC is running macOS or Linux, this is going to be absolutely trivial once you learn the syntax. I actually have a github project that does this specifically for Minecraft (while also keeping mods and settings synchronized between different instances on the same computer).

I've been working on a project that syncs my minecraft worlds, mods, resource packs and configs between five different computers, one of them being the Deck. It's command-line based and only really tested on Linux/macOS, but it has the advantage of being config-less (everything is handled by filenames alone) and will work in principle with any launcher. Transfers are also pretty fast since it uses rsync to just perform incremental backups--my world file is about 4GB right now, and it takes under a minute to check in and sync a play session across all my devices (I have a separate project that also does version control to roll back a creeper explosion a borked save caused by a corrupted mod)

Idk, I really dislike the Curseforge launcher so when I booted up GD I noped back out of it pretty fast. To each their own, and I do need to spend some more time with it, though, as I'm working on an asset manager that should be launcher-agnostic, and a lot of folks really do love GD (and Curseforge and Lunar and Badlion and the official Mojang launcher...).

Working on it and would be happy to accept contributions and feedback.

Hmm... how is ssh support on Windows machines these days? Will the scripts I use to backup and synchronize my Minecraft instances work on Windows 11? And what are the good free nonlinear video editors for when I want to edit and post gameplay footage?

Interesting. I've never had a problem with MultiMC or any of its forks. It sounds to me like you probably just needed to allocate more RAM (as a rule I typically set the default Xmx to half the total system RAM, or 8GB in the case of the Deck). In any case, thanks for clueing me into an alternative launcher. I'm working on a project to keep mods, configs, resource packs, worlds, etc. synced across different instances and different computers, and eventually I'll want to make sure I support as many launchers as possible.
