Linux kernel provides ways to observe from user space. The problem is that there’s nothing to stop someone running a kernel which neuters anticheat tools ability to observe using that functionality. As far as I’m aware the only way to mitigate that is via measured boot attestation and having signed kernel etc.

Yes very much this. It is possible to modify an existing prefix but there are quite a few things to do, it's easier to back up savegames and game config files and then create it anew.

What is your specific wheel hardware? It should simply be a case of binding the wheel axis in Content Manager’s controller options.

Hop on either matrix or discord listed at https://simracingonlinux.com and one of us will be happy to help you work through the issue.

Simucube uses the hid-pidff driver which is built into the kernel. For setting up the base using the SC2 software there is a guide available[0]. I’m not an SC owner myself but there are a few people on the SimRacingOnLinux[1] discord who seem to have everything working nicely.

AC works fine just requires a little extra setup, either use this script[0] or use the latest GE-Proton (with a fresh prefix), I recently updated protonfixes to fix a CM/CSP issue. The latter is better as newer Proton has some definite performance improvements.

Incredibly jarring lowercase 'a' in that. Far too prominent to the point of affecting readability.

No, it was 1.6 that was on the Steam beta. That was years before HL2 and CS:S were even leaked let alone released.
rounce··on Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at kernel with massive speed gains
That’s a wild exaggeration. Yes they underperform relative to the Windows drivers but my experience is far from “cutting framerates in half” nor “borderline impractical”. I’ve had the last four generations of Nvidia card (currently on 5070Ti) on Linux and played demanding games just fine.

rounce··on Why I love NixOS
Why? Most people’s system configurations are publicly accessible on GitHub. Stuff like Omarchy only makes sense* when the system must be configured imperatively and there is a cost to trying things (accumulation of application residue). When you build your system declaratively you can just copy the bits you like from other people’s configs, or even just run their config as-is.

* IMO Omarchy doesn’t make sense anyway, far too much opinion and too little utility. It’s not a distro it’s some guy’s overly promoted pile of crufty scripts and dotfiles.

Add `nix-darwin` to your path (it probably already is on it) and run it while in the directory of the flake: "nix-darwin switch --flake .#private"

You can: https://github.com/nix-community/nix-ld

rounce··on Why I love NixOS
The reproducibility is amazing in reality: you either just run the misbehaving server’s config in a VM (one command) or spin up a throwaway VPS and apply the config to that (one command and about 60s). One of the major benefits of reproducibility is not having to poke at production machines because that’s the one place you can manifest the issue, now you can reproduce the in-production issues in a safe environment and fix them there.

> The value of having (and executing) a coherent product vision is extremely undervalued in FOSS

Interesting you say this because I'd say the opposite is true historically, especially in the systems software community and among older folks. "Do one thing and do it well" seems to be the prevailing mindset behind many foundational tools. I think this why so many are/were irked by systemd. On the other hand newer tools that are more heavily marketed and often have some commercial angle seem to be in a perpetual state of tacking on new features in lieu of refining their raison d'etre.

The state doesn't make me pay it because I don't watch live broadcast TV, therefore I don't have to pay it. It's not a general tax it's a hypothecated tax and is administered by the BBC not the UK government.

Furthermore the state isn't in charge of administering it anyway, it's a civil matter brought about by the BBC (or rather the company which is subcontracted to enforce licencing). The BBC has the authority to do this based on the Royal Charter that governs it, that doesn't make it "state funded" or a "state broadcaster".

rounce··on Yoghurt delivery women combatting loneliness in Japan
The BBC is not state funded, it's a public broadcaster primarily funded by the general public, via the (admittedly outdated) TV licence fee system. Although the media output for the UK is non-commercial, it does have commercial operations and interactions though and they are mostly centred around the content produced for overseas consumption. As this post is on the .com domain where the international content exists (and which runs ads), I presume it is part of the paid content side of things.

Surely it's better to be more reliant on domestically/locally produced wind and solar when oil and gas production by 3rd party countries is plummeting?
