Thrustmaster TMX drivers for Linux
Hello everybody, ever since I switched to linux its been a mess with installing drivers for my thrustmaster TMX, do I've wanted to make something which would make that installation easier. So I did. Here is an automatic installer, no deadzone for me, FFB effects working perfectly. If you guys could give it a try and tell me if it works I would be thankfull. Works on arch with any kernel, should in fact work on Debian also Ubuntu but I haven't tried those. You can download the installer from here: https://github.com/Kuba7500/Thrustmaster_TMX_Driver

I can't play Rocket League.
I installed the game on Epic Games using Lutris, but the keyboard and gamepad aren't working. In Outlast, only the keyboard didn't work, the gamepad did, but in this one, neither works.

Winwing On CachyOS - Make it work
Skip to third paragraph to how to fix it, the second paragraph I explain about my problem.
This is for the archive known as reddit,
I spent 2 days trying to fix this issue, when lauching DCS in CachyOS with Proton, the winwing is not fully passed, the slider and the Z axis pass as one, only a few buttons and not the full 40+ buttons, Y axis was always inverted, I searched on Google, did not find the solution, I cursed at ChatGPT a lot until it was able to give me the correct answer, I admit, if the AI one day revolt, I'm one of the reasons, below is the copy-paste of the summary from ChatGPT on how to solve the issue, this worked for me flawlessly. (I read the summary to make sure it is what I did), If something does not work, give the link of this post to your AI as a source so that it know what was done
Fix: Flight stick inputs broken or incorrect in Proton on CachyOS (Winwing URSA Minor)
This issue occurs when Proton cannot access the correct HID device and/or SDL selects the wrong input device, even though the stick works fine in Linux tools.
The fix consists of three necessary layers:
Verify Linux input works
Fix hidraw permissions
Force SDL/Proton to select the correct device
1️⃣ Verify the flight stick works at the Linux level
Before touching Proton, confirm the kernel and input stack are correct.
Identify the device
lsusb
Expected output example:
ID 4098:bc2a Winwing URSA MINOR FIGHTER FLIGHT STICK R
Note the Vendor ID (4098) and Product ID (bc2a) — these are required later.
Test with evdev
evtest
Select the Winwing device and verify:
Axes move correctly
Buttons register correctly
If this fails, stop here — the issue is not Proton.
2️⃣ Identify the correct hidraw device
Proton often needs raw HID access for HOTAS devices.
List all hidraw devices and their owners:
for d in /dev/hidraw*; do echo "== $d ==" udevadm info -q property -n "$d" | egrep 'ID_VENDOR_ID=|ID_MODEL_ID=' doneLook for:
ID_VENDOR_ID=4098 ID_MODEL_ID=bc2aExample result:
/dev/hidraw12
This is the device Proton must be allowed to read.
3️⃣ Fix hidraw permissions (this is the critical step)
By default, hidraw devices are owned by root:root and inaccessible to normal users, which breaks Proton input.
Add the user to the input group
sudo usermod -aG input "$USER"
Log out and log back in after completing this guide.
Create a udev rule for the Winwing stick
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-winwing-ursa-minor.rules
Paste:
# Winwing URSA Minor Fighter Flight Stick R SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="4098", ATTRS{idProduct}=="bc2a", MODE:="0660", GROUP:="input"Explanation:
Targets only the Winwing stick
Grants group-level read/write access
Uses := to prevent later rules from overriding permissions
Reload udev and replug the device
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules sudo udevadm triggerPhysically unplug and replug the stick.
Verify permissions
ls -l /dev/hidraw*
Expected result:
crw-rw---- 1 root input ... /dev/hidrawX
If permissions are still root:root, the udev rule is not matching correctly.
4️⃣ Force SDL to select the correct device (very important)
SDL (used internally by Proton) often selects:
keyboards
wireless receivers
audio HID devices
instead of the HOTAS.
This causes:
missing axes
broken centering
random button mappings
Set Steam launch options
Steam → Game → Properties → Launch Options:
SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_IGNORE_DEVICES_EXCEPT=0x4098/0xBC2A %command%
This tells SDL to ignore all controllers except the Winwing stick.
5️⃣ Enable hidraw support in Proton
Some HOTAS devices require explicit hidraw support.
Add to the same launch options:
PROTON_ENABLE_HIDRAW=1
Final launch options:
SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_IGNORE_DEVICES_EXCEPT=0x4098/0xBC2A PROTON_ENABLE_HIDRAW=1 %command% submitted by /u/d4mm1tM00nM00n[link] [comments]
Wireless gamepad dongle doesn't work
I'm on CachyOS. I have a wireless gamepad with 3 modes (PC, Switch, Android). If I connect the gamepad directly using usb c cable it works normally, but if I use the dongle it would always go into Android mode which disables the rumble function. When I plug in the dongle and check journalctl -f, I got some error unable to read config. How do I fix this?

Steam Not Launching Some Games
I launched steam from terminal after downloading through dnf. It works perfectly for some games, like inazuma or universal sandbox, but for some games like shotgun king and satisfactory, upon clicking play, it syncs cloud storage and then stops and the games do not actually launch. I've tried restarting and redownloading but it's still not working.
Running Fedora 43 on gnome Intel i7 Nvidia 4060rtx (I have the Nvidia drivers installed) 16gb ddr5
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Totally lost into Linux stuff - help!
Can i use Logitech G923 + Pedals + Shifter on Linux AnduinOS?
Can i use Logitech G HUB? Radeon Adrenalin? Ryzen Master?
I've never seen Linux Distro on live. Never touched Linux!
I have no idea what i am doing but this is the main reason i am still on WindowsOS.
I am playing exclusively Euro Truck Simulator 2 and i need 100% G HUB also for my G413 and G102.
I've been told that SIM Gaming is non-existend for Linux and it's Distros - is that true?

Detroit: Become Human - DualSense to DualShock 4 on Linux?
Hi! I've been wanting to play Detroit: Become Human on my CachyOS install with PlayStation prompts, but with Steam Input it only shows Xbox prompts, and my DualSense controller isn't supported because the game only accepts DualShock 4 as a working PlayStation controller. Is it possible to emulate/spoof my DualSense so it shows up as a DualShock 4 for the game, so I can have proper inputs and prompts? I'd appreciate any help I can get with this.

Fallout Shelter - Steam Modded
Looking to spice up a Fallout Shelter play through, a bit curious if anyone's gotten mods to work via Steam launcher or some other sort of mod manager.
