Steering wheel
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).

What should I expect from Force Feedback in American Truck Simulator?
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).

Sim racing on Linux/Steam Deck 2022 an update
The people Behind the logitech driver new-lg4ff most logitech wheels work fantastic now.
-
Please open-source ghub so I can make a software that's actually worth a shit.
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.
- new-lg4ff 0.4.0 adds support for Logitech G923 PS/PC wheels
- Does steam input support steering wheels?
-
Linux gamers, what is making you stay?
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.
-
Any type of steering wheel to avoid?
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.

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.
What are some alternatives?
