I've been almost-ready to ditch Windows for years. Now's the time.

My new neighbor is an old-school nerd. He hosts install parties at our local leftist third space.
He's going to help me switch to... not sure yet. Probably Mint. I can't wait. It feels as good as never giving a cent to Amazon, Uber, and streaming services.

Yay.

Just got into sim racing as a longtime Linux user. iRacing doesn't work because they're lazy about enabling anticheat, but ac, beamng, and others work great. What hardware do you have in your rig? FFB "just worked" with my pxn vd6, and I had to write up some udev rules to get my simsonn load cell pedals running, but it's been smooth so far. There is a matrix chat you can join from simracingonlinux dot com that has excellent information and folks to help.

    Yeah iRacing was my worry. I haven't played it at all yet cause it's just so much to get started, but that's a goal, so it's kinda at the forefront of my thoughts. I have a Moza R5 with just the stock pedals, but I have been eyeing some Simsonn pedals something fierce. How do you like them?

    And awesome, I'll look into that! I'm sure I'm gonna have questions, but from what I've seen, the Moza stuff is pretty plug and play. I have a bunch of random peripherals I need to look into tho

    I really like the simsonn plus x pedals I picked up. The brake pedal has way better feel and modulation, and they're adjustable about a billion ways to Sunday. I haven't adjusted anything yet because I'm working on a frame to invert them out of 2020 extrusion.

    The r5 should work perfectly out of the box, and install boxflat to do any tweaking you may need. Hopefully you take the plunge and things work well for you.
