A big reason I've been holding off a total switch is the support for wheels and force feedback in linux. I currently have mint installed, and between trying to get assetto corsa with content manager working, and getting the wheel calibrated, it's a struggle. I have a Driving Force GT. I can see the wheel and inputs in the joystick menu, but the force feedback and degrees of turn are all messed up. There's some resources online but I thought maybe someone here has direct experience. Any assistance appreciated. I'd love to kick windows to the curb entirely !

Does running the driver in wine work, or will that not work at all with external devices? The driver itself is buggy as I recall having to do registry edits in windows to make it work a few years ago.
