So, rF2 actually runs very good on Linux

    I did some benchmark showcased in this video.



    In general, what is stopping me definitely from jumping over, is the lack of drivers support. Any Linux sim racers around?

    GNU/Linux user here, from Slackware 20 years ago and now as developer and working with Net Core and Ubuntu for base OS rolf, it sounds hilarious but yeah, now I work with Microsoft tools and deploy them on a GNU/Linux :p, who imagined this 10/15 years ago? jajajaja

    Were you able to get the FF working?
    The only workaround to fix that (and don't have the two OS baremetal installed) in my case was create a VM with windows using KVM+QEMU and doing a bypass for the videocard, so I practically don't loss performance.


    BTW I don't want this game ported to GNU/Linux, runs fine in Windows :p

    I´m a big Linux fan, used SuSE for a long time, but simracing got me out of it for the same reason, drivers.
