Kann ich bestätigen. Ich hab diverse Spiele ausprobiert bei denen ich mir unter Windows echt die Zähne ausgebissen hab in der Vergangenheit. Unter Linux liefen die manchmal einfach so. Mal musste ich nur mit drei Klicks die Protonversion anpassen. Selten noch was von protondb in die Startparameter reinkopieren. Nur Kane & Lynch hat so richtig Probleme gemacht wo die Grafikoptionen immer zu einem Crash geführt haben und je nach Kamerawinkel der ganze Bildschirm schwarz wurde im Spiel. Aber das Spiel hab ich auch unter Windows seit 2007 unter Windows XP nie wieder vernünftig zum laufen gebracht.

Zwecks Assetto sollte das eigentlich ganz gut funktionieren. Gibt Video Tutorials wie zB hier:

(viele gute weiteführende Links in der Beschreibung)

Ich hab selber mit Oversteer und dem new-lg4ff Treiber gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Ich hab zB in zwei Stunden Beamng.Drive mit G27, FFB und VR mal eben eingerichtet. Das wäre ohne Vorerfahrung unter Windows auch nicht viel schneller gegangen.

Hängt aber natürlich auch ein bisschen von der Hardware ab. Mit AMD GPU und einem schnöden G27 ist das schon eher einfach. Wie das dann mit einem richtigen Rig aussieht mit DD Wheel, zusätzlicher Peripherie, Buttonboxen, etc pp. Keine Ahnung, vermutlich komplizierter. Der eigentliche Stress ist einfach die Umgewöhnung und das erneute Setup von Allem. Je nachdem wieviel Zeit man hat tut das schon weh wenn man eigentlich ein funktionierendes System hat. Wie das dann mit dem Datalogger aussieht weiß ich auch nicht. Vielleicht gibts da nativen Ersatz oder man kriegt ihn mit Wine zum laufen. Vielleicht aber auch nicht.

Aber die letzten paar Jahre hat mich Simracing und VR auch immer vom endgültigen Umstieg zu Linux abgehalten. Bis vor kurzem noch ein Jahr lang Dualboot betrieben und für den Kram sehr regelmäßig zu Windows gewechselt. Inzwischen muss ich aber sagen funzt das meiste Zeug einfach gut genug. Manche Teilaspekte laufen/gefallen mir unter Linux sogar besser. Anderes ist eher holpriger, schlechter oder funktioniert selten einfach nicht. Aber der Leidensdruck war bei mir zumindestens in letzter Zeit unter Windows größer in der Gesamtsituation. Seit August bin ich nur einmal für 2 Stunden in ne komplett entkernte Windows Instanz gebootet, die ich noch irgendwo rumfliegen hab.

Ansonsten kannste noch angucken welche anderen Sims unter Linux laufen. Auch wegen Online und Anticheat. Iracing zB funktioniert ja nicht glaub ich? Aber da ich kein Goldesel hab ist mir zumindestens relativ egal. https://www.protondb.com/

Sweet. I didnt want to throw any shade towards the developer btw. Just in case.

Ugh, not available in my country because of stupid laws. My steam account is old enough to vote and drink liquor. But god forbid i could see the shop page of a game which wasnt rated properly.

My guess(!): Big topics are already crowded by big channels which get an algorithmic boost because of their past success. Its harder to get your slop prominently shown and establish your content slop farm with these topics. While with niche topics its easier to get your video to the top of the search results.

There are opensource tools like https://n8n.io/ to automate the creation of slop content. From what i heard its piss easy to setup. Like here is a half an hour tutorial to set you up:

Then you shit out the slop content and hope your channel picks up. If it fails to drive numbers you abandon it and start with the next channel with the next topic variation. If you get lucky and the algorithm blesses you, you continue to shit out hundreds of videos.

As seen eg in the video of redlyne about the dead internet theory. Where he looks a bit into the slop channels on youtube and other stuff:

Imagine having relationship issues and end up on a wikihow listacle for guidance.

GT2 with even more shitboxes? Sign me the fuck up!

I'm going to frontload a few links:
https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page Emulation Wiki(very good)
https://retrogamecorps.com/2022/10/16/steam-deck-emulation-starter-guide/ he has also a YT channel and lots of other guides

The emulator itself is RPCS3 but you can use probably frontends like Emudeck or Retrodeck to make things easier.
To obtain the gamefiles you either get them from your modded PS3 or you make a visit to r/roms.

I dont have a steamdeck so idk how well the GT games would run. It really depends on the game. Demon Souls or Skate 3 probably run just fine. MGS4 on the other hand is really taxing even on the newest desktop hardware. The GT games are probably somewhere in the middle. Check youtube, there are high chance somebody already uploaded steamdeck gameplay.

Otherwise i cant recommend the GT4 Spec II Mod enough. Upscaled GT4 still looks fantastic and even more so on a handheld screen.

I mean there is Forza Motorsport (2023). Personally i'm not a big fan of this particular iteration but its pretty much the only game which checks all your boxes on Steam.

Or you could check out PS2 Emulation with PCSX2 and the Spec II Mod for GT4. PS3 Emulation for GT5 and 6 still isnt perfect and pretty demanding for the hardware but also worth a look. I think there is the "master mod" to spice things up? Like why search for an imitation if you can have the original?

Tried the demo. Its 42gb to download, lmao. Its UE5. It runs like ass. Like my 5800X3D and 6900XT combo isnt the very best anymore. But it can handle every big AAA game with gorgoues graphics just fine. But Bus Bound seems to be the limit. Better upgrade to a 5090, i guess. Seriously i barely hit 60 fps on medium(without lumen for GI and reflections) and balanced(!) upscaling. The artstyle of the game doesnt even shine on 'epic'. But on medium it looks like a 10-15 year old budget title and still runs like ass. Also TSR/FSR/DLSS/XESS is a must. If you atleast want a clean image with low graphics: though luck. Temporal artifacting and smearing are on the table. Now eat shit.

The intro of the game is super low budget which isnt an issue but isnt a plus either. Driving physics are so barebones that i feel like its a barely touched UE5 premade physics asset. Collisions are laughably bad and worse then a lot of the PS1 racing games i played a few months back(this isnt an exaggeration). One time the busses(eseses?) collision box got stuck in the asphalt of a (slight) downward slope and the physics exploded. Amateur hour. Didnt make it to the managment aspect because i stopped caring.

Now to the positives: The game made me finally read into getting Optiscaler running on Linux to spoof FSR4 on my RDNA2 card. Its pretty solid for an upscaler. I will try it now with Control where the image quality always bothered me in the past.

Anyway: Fuck RPS and Saber Interactive for their misleading little adverticle.

Linux gaming is in a really good place and i say that as a VR and simracing player. My logitech wheel works perfectly after minuscule tinkering. With VR i have here and there some issues getting particular games running. But the vast majority of stuff just works which is pretty damn cool.

With that said Linux is still a learning process for me after a year. A lot stuff is straight up just better than on windows. Other things not so much. Audio over HDMI is flakey with my setup. It just stops working sometimes. Putting my PC to sleep and waking it up again breaks stuff regularly so i just stopped using the sleep function. Lots of other little issues pop up every other week. Sometimes it can be solved by googling for 2 minutes. Other times i needed to take hour long deepdives with the result of not beeing wiser after.

I dont regret the switch one bit. But in these kind of threads on lemmy you could easily walk away with the impression that the switch to Linux is a cakewalk. But it isnt. I was a Windows poweruser for 25 years. I never needed somebody to help me. I could fix my shit all by myself and a bit of googling. With linux a lot of stuff is familiar but for a lot of other stuff you start at square one. It can be exhausting at the beginning. But i say all that to just put you in the right mindset. If you expect a manegeable uphill battle you probably will be positively surprised how easy most of the gaming stuff is. But if you expect to just switch and everything working out without some involvement you will get frustrated sooner than later.

Probably came out of a easter lamb form for normally cake.
