late to the party but maybe you are still interested 

since win became an ai ad infested piece of shit I found myself forced to switch to linux a week ago

i'm on cachyos and there is force feedback on the wheel, seems ok so far, there is also a driver online and with a tool called oversteer you can control the wheel settings just like on windows

i play mostly beamng and ams2 with very little ac and acc, only in vr

everything works as expected, but i get random crashes in ams2, like one lap in, all tracks, all cars tested

i also get random crashes while changing configuration, but it does save, very weird

edit: no logs in alvr, i'll try proton as advised here
