Not OP but a curious lurker, how hard was it to get your Thrustmaster to work on Linux? I've been hoping to buy a racing wheel for some racing games I play and I assumed all of them worked fine on Linux (mostly since my knockoff third-party PS4-style gamepads worked immediately), is that actually not the case? :/
To be fair, I was mostly aiming to buy a Logitech wheel, so I'm not sure how the experience will differ frrom Thrustmaster. But the older G27 wheels are more affordable and I'm not sure if they'll have trouble or not.
It was a bit of a pain, but there are a few repos helping make it easy. I had to grab the USB vendor ID and update a config file, but now I just run one script every time I want to use it and it feels great. Everything feels the same as on windows and I finally deleted my secondary partition.
I think the Logitech wheels are easier to get set up. Way fewer models and way more people have them. I'd search around and find something on GitHub and make sure it's working though
