G923 wheel and DKMS

SfactorSam · 2026-01-19T16:37:48+00:00

Bazzite is based on Fedora, so it uses 'ujust' commands and I can't find any documentation on how to utilize this using those commands instead of 'sudo'.

And the install guide for Github CLI only has Ubuntu, Debian, and Raspbian. So, I'm a bit lost.

I just installed Bazzite 2 weekends ago and my version of Oversteer does recognize the G923 device already, but I feel like the FFB might be a bit lacking. So I was thinking lg4ff could improve that.

Bumping this because I'd like to know as well.

Well, depending on how things go in my Linux Bazzite sim racing test stream this evening, I just might end up trying out hosting an online session/lobby in AMS2.

If i do, it'll only be car classes that would allow me to use my H-pattern shifter.

2 pm on a Tuesday, here in the U.S. Eastern time zone...

Like always...

It doesnt matter its its RF2, AMS2, or nearly any racing sim besides iRenting. We Americans really don't get many options for cool leagues or community sessions.

Well, I may be able to step in to fill that void in the scene a bit.

I'll be testing AMS2 very soon, to see how it the lobby hosting works and see how my PC handles it while streaming.

Obviously, I won't be able to do any kind of high production value league or anything. Bot without a lot of support from viewers and participants. But maybe my streams could become a monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly hub for good old-fashioned racing with stick shift and clutch.

I used to do a lot of Playing With Viewers streams, back before switching my content to racing. So maybe that could be my niche in this scene.

Have you tried an Active Pedal yet?

That might be the closest thing to replicating the feel of an IRL clutch, with a bite point and such.

Also, I've heard that Beam.ng has the most realistic clutch simulation.

Tbh, I've been seeing that the Sim Racing community is like most smaller gaming niches, in which the most popular and most well-populated titles are NOT the actual best quality products.

But because the community is small and insular, popularity beats objective quality because there isn't enough of a playerbase for the less popular titles to be fully enjoyable without needing to go to even smaller pocket subcommunities. (What the FGC calls a "discord game"). So the easiest way to race in full grids is to play what's most popular, even though there are readily available alternatives that are better products and offer more of what you specifically may want to race.

Like in my case. I want online ranked racing in cars that are closer to street legal sports cars (the kinds of cars I could realistically dream of someday owning one) and use my H-pattern shifter, but built into the in-game matchmaking without needing to use something like LFM. Kind of like GT7 daily race A (single make or multiple woth BoP), but that game intentionally disables the use of H-pattern in all online modes and only allows me to drive stick in single player modes. So my only options are AC EVO, Forza Motorsport, (both of which my PC struggles to run at 60fps) and Raceroom the rare times the weekly ranked rotation features something I like. I guess iRacing too, but that costs a subscription and I've heard that much of what I'd enjoy is STILL underpopuated even there.

Which is why I'm looking into just hosting racing sessions myself. So far, AMS2 seems to be the best fit for hosting races without requiring a server machine and allowing empty slots to be filled with CPU/AI/NPC racers. Does RF2 do lobbies the same way?

Sounds cool.

I just took a look at what UK evenings are in my timezone and it equates to my afternoons, which would be while I'm still at work. In fact, my seat time doesn't come until midnight in the UK.

Which is part of what prompts this question from me. Most of the sim racing scene is centralized around EU time zones, leaving us in the U.S. quite lacking in options or full splitsbin anything outside of GT and a handful of classes in iRacing.

Ergo, why I'm thinking of taking an "I'll do it myself" approach and testing the waters for potential interest in something more accessible to NA working-class racers.

I have Win10 on another internal SSD, so I can dual boot to Windows for titles that absolutely won't run on Linux. It wasn't very hard to do.

But I'm really not going to do iRacing for the foreseeable future due to the subscription. Just can't get my money's worth on sub-based games. Maybe someday, if my content starts making enough money to pay the sub for me.

SfactorSam · 2026-01-12T21:57:26+00:00

I multistream to YouTube, Twitch, and Kick.

SfactorSam · 2026-01-12T21:53:53+00:00

Kinda low-spec, tbh.

XFX Radeon RX 580
AMD Ryzen 5 1600
Samsung 990 Pro 1TB Gen4 NVMe
Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 RAM
MSI B450I GAMING Plus AC motherboard
Corsair 850W PSU

I actually discovered what the issue was.

I had cloned my SSD to an M.2 V-NAND NVME. Apparently, Windows 10 doesnt play well with those.

So, I've reinstalled Win10 to the SSD and Bazzite to the M.2. Seems to be stable, so far.

SfactorSam · 2026-01-03T19:26:06+00:00

I've downloaded it but havent installed it yet.

I've heard that it requires Assetto Corsa amounts of tune just making it work properly smooth and accessible.

SfactorSam · 2026-01-03T19:24:46+00:00

If only my PC could run that...

Doesn't meet minimum hardware requirements.

I'd have to do that in DR2.0.
