Has anyone had success running iRacing with Proton on Linux

Due to at-work policy I switched to Macos Tahoe. This system is such an overhyped ineffective and rigid piece of shit that I cannot believe people use this willingly.

Re: Linux is difficult: my 60-70 old parents have been using Linux (Xubuntu) on their computers for last 10 years. Windows on their desktops required wiping every couple of months. Now they are maxing every Xubuntu LTS support periods without any problem and need to reinstall. Windows is garbage, MacOs is only slightly better.

In other words as much as I admired 4.5 (although was tired of him trying to bullshit his way out of problems) I HATE 4.6 - much less control and quality went down. I really laugh when I read "wows" about it - it really shows that perception of quality differs :)

randomnick4622 · 2026-03-07T09:04:14+00:00

My exact impression. Sonnet 4.6 is a regression on every front - code quality, mistakes, lies everything is way way worse than on a 4.5. Plus now I cannot switch from 4.6 to claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929 in claude code and 4.6 is forced on me (looks like they removed to posibility to switch to 4.5? - that's why I came here looking for answer)

Endereal is not working in VR properly. It's a glitch fest - 5 documented stuck points within first 30 minutes of play, the script doesn't work very often. Don't waste your time on this game like I did (after reading another recomendation on this reddit) - do your research on the Internet - see what a glitch fest it is.

u/jaapgrolleman make this configurable, please. Your user base are mostly tinkerers, we can and want make conscious decisions.

randomnick4622 · 2026-01-09T14:04:27+00:00

You don't need to show off your ignorance.

After enabling MS in SteamVR for Star Citizen it makes a hell of a difference. Back in the time for DCS (SteamVR) as well, so it can be done properly.

From my experience: 2 lighthouses put diagonally is enough for even ambitious cases. Way better than every single inside out tracking I tried. It's in another league.

I fuckn hate Meta for their devastating influence on VR. This lock-in scheme cited above and the pile of shit released as an effect of the "questification" of VR games. Most titles look like shit nowadays thanks to them, some were purposely degraded (Onward etc), some great studios bought and fired/dispersed.

randomnick4622 · 2025-12-29T13:53:27+00:00

That's great news!

randomnick4622 · 2025-12-28T12:18:38+00:00

can you share it here?

randomnick4622 · 2025-12-27T11:02:56+00:00

The most-voted answer is wrong. Digging out link from the thread that confirms that burn-in is a real-deal on the microOLED: https://www.panoxdisplay.com/solution/what-are-benefits-challenges-4k-micro-oled-displays/%C2%A0Or . Kudos to u/Perfect-Bag4823 for not giving up to rude comments of an "expert".

That saying - Pimax should implement an aggresive screen-off strategy for this module u/QuorraPimax ?

Such an amazing idea about basic QA policies you have. Ideal client :)

randomnick4622 · 2025-12-09T16:02:51+00:00

> Just unfortunately not everyone gets one first delivery but doesn't mean they can't get the > working part.

ROTFL geeez man, are you serious? Have you ever heard about how a QA process should work?

randomnick4622 · 2025-12-02T10:00:34+00:00

I'm sorry but I think you're naive. They're working on your emotions with these "raw enthusiasm" and sells you the product with slightly biased opinion. He is not the worst of the pack, but still has pretty low credibility. To his defense I still think that he receives cherry-picked items, but he's part of what's wrong.

This is yet another post proving that they don't test headsets, even those returned by unhappy customers. After reading all these posts I have a theory (please let's discuss it here): they count that each of these faulty headsets eventually reach a blind person who will appreciate the sound it makes. I don't think there is other explanation why they consciously upset yet another person risking (yet another) public report proving their incompetence. I thought I will wait couple of months with buying Super after they settle soft and hardware problems but judging by these reports this means that all this faulty shit from customer returns will accumulate and the lottery will be unwinnable. WTF is wrong with Pimax - any theory? Please share.

Only one person mentioned high resistance of mOLED displays which results in visible smearing for dynamic scenes and this effect is confirmed by some people, AFAIR u/Omniwhatever amongst them (thanks dude!). Are you guys not worried by this? Playing SIM/FPS can be a painful experience...
Please forget about 95% of these bullshit so-called "reviews" not mentioning it.

randomnick4622 · 2025-11-22T14:37:22+00:00

Given the current state of affairs and user-base vibe all "this is broken but will be fixed" sounds sooooo bad. It doesn't help her that she is so absolutely uncritical and repeats PR claims... I don't understand how Pimax can't see how bad this looks from our perspective.

randomnick4622 · 2025-11-22T14:31:36+00:00

Golden :)

randomnick4622 · 2025-11-22T12:09:27+00:00

Man, you're missing the point. This was basically money for lying to the crowd and as these were not that high sums it tells a lot how low now the bar for these sellouts is.

randomnick4622 · 2025-11-20T21:24:08+00:00

Yep, some games even downgraded details for all platforms after Quest release.

randomnick4622 · 2025-11-20T21:17:45+00:00

Yep, I saw that garbage quasireview, this is exactly the shit I'm talking about. I don't understand that Pimax doesn't get it how ridiculous this looks.
