      Which one? The G27/G920/G29 and some others are supported pretty much out of the box.

      Not thanks to Logitech but they do work fine.

          Do you mean the G923? Can’t find a G928 anywhere. The G923 is supported since kernel 6.3.

            I couldn’t get it working correctly. Regularly disconnects and misshifts. I admit I didn’t try as hard.

              That’s strange. Do you happen to use a USB extension cables to reach your steering wheel?

              I noticed that Linux is far worse than Windows in recovering from USB errors. Most of the time it will just stop working where Windows will ignore the error and continue.

              If you are interested in diagnosing the issue you can run journalctl -f in a terminal while playing and check the logs when an issue occurs. USB errors will be marked red in the log.

                No extension cables. Just plug in and not working. Went to the Logitech site to find drivers. Did a few searches in flatpak and installed some packages and still nothing worked.

                I have since moved back to Win11 and enjoy the plug and play aspect in my gaming. I tried using Mint to see if it’s ready for someone like me in 2024.

                Unfortunately for Linux to be prime time, it can’t expect someone to diagnose problems or worse, try and understand command lines. The second someone has to read a markdown, it’s not ready.
