Hi all. I recently came to Bazzite after being a Windows snob for, well, ever. The single player games I play and Hell Let Loose work great, but I am struggling to get my racing sims to work. All the games are through Steam, howver I think it is likely to be the non-native support for Simhub, Moza and SimLabs Race Director software. Are there any sim racing Bazzite users here that could offer some advice? I have tried a few online guides via YouTube, but I'm coming up short. Any advice would be appreciated.

Ask in the simeacing on linux matrix room, the guys are very knowledgeable. It's linked by some poster below. Devices like handbrakes often don't get recognised as joysticks, because they don't have buttons. You have to add a little config file and it will be recognised just fine on linux.

    These solutions should work on any distro. Why not on bazzite, it says here it's based on fedora.

    Youll also straight up get every sign in the terminal that it should be recognized and it still won't work in any game, not with any flag or whatever added to steam either

    Oh I see, if you need to run stuff that is not working out of the box, like gaming peripherals, an immutable distro probably is not the right choice... That's good to know, and probably will always be the tradeoff, but you get a distro that is very hard to break on the plus side...

    immutable, I tried literally every fix you are thinking of from reddit, other people have mentioned it didn't work on bazzite either on the discord, ill prob have an ai agent give it a go at some point, it usually finds workarounds for bazzite based on it being based on atomic silver blue fedora or whatever the fk it says, im just taking a break from simracing and didn't trust ai with sht back then
