Ok, my coffee fueled morning research:
Essentially, if you can install the game with Steam it works out of the box. According to Protondb (https://www.protondb.com/app/244210) the game has a Gold rating which means it works without any major flaws.
There's a guide to get Assetto Corsa setup: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2828364666
If you don't want to fuss with all of this manually, someone has created a script to do most of the work here: https://github.com/sihawido/assettocorsa-linux-setup
As far as mods, I'd need to know which other mods you use to see if there are any specific instructions/issues.
List of force feedback steering wheels, the driver needed to use them and a rating of how well they work with Linux. It looks like all Moza products have a Platinum rating so they work flawlessly. https://github.com/JacKeTUs/linux-steering-wheels
Moza Pit House doesn't work, but someone has created a flatpak native Linux version: https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.lawstorant.boxflat
Here's a compilation of links for software to get various pieces of simracing gear working: https://github.com/LukasLichten/awesome-linux-simracing
Steam VR via Quest 2 using ALVR: https://pawamoy.github.io/posts/steam-linux-alvr-quest2/
Legend! I'm saving this post for when I do finally get the motivation to switch.
The main mods I'm concerned about are Custom Shaders Patch and Pure, but I believe the devs are working on Linux versions of those as well.
If you do and run into any trouble, feel free to DM me. :)
Thanks. I will say, though, that still seems pretty lengthy and complicated to get working. ;) But I guess I only have to do it once.
Most of the other mods are simply cars and tracks, which I guess are just drag and drop like in Windows. The only other one that might be an issue is the 2Real traffic/pedestrian mods.
Yeah it is. Though, if you're doing sim racing and also modding a game it isn't an inherently a plug and play situation even in Windows. :P
Most of the games I play are just 'buy, click install on Steam, press play'.
It looks like you can run the install.bat file in the wine prefix via protontricks and then copy the csp traffic tool, car pack and traffic/pedestrian.json files in the appropriate folders.
You may have to click the 'Try to Fix' button in the taskbar in Practice mode to auto-install the traffic mods, but this seems like something that you have to do on Windows too.
True, but I'm at least familiar with it.
All my games are installed on a non-OS drive. Will I have to re-download them, or will Steam automatically detect them once I point it to the directory?
The SteamLibrary folder will move over, no problem.
The drive being formatted as NTFS is the issue. Valve doesn't recommend this with Proton/WINE for reasons. NTFS isn't case sensitive, for example.
If you have the space to temporarily move your SteamLibrary elsewhere you can just format the drive to ext4 and move the folder back. (If not we are in one of those '30 different possible ways to solve the problem' situations that was mentioned at the top of the comment chain :P)
I don't, and I'm out.
No worries, good talkin' to ya. :)
Same here. I do appreciate all the help you've given, and I know now that I will be able to get stuff working when I do inevitably make the switch. I'll be saving these posts for when I do. Thanks.
