From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No idea about Flightgear but to get super niche X-Plane works in VR on Linux, including with flight simulator joysticks.
I can't help you with your specific setup but my point is that gaming on Linux works very well unless you need kernel level anti cheat which at this point is pretty much only a portion of competitive gaming.
I don't see anything on https://www.protondb.com/search?q=Flightgear though so not a good sign.
PS: been player for years on Linux, from AAA e.g. Baldur's Gate 3 to Elden Ring to VR games e.g Half-life: Alyx to indie games in VR and flat, not once did I have nor want to go back to Windows.
