Have Win 10 and was a Windows die hard since I was a kid.

Been running Linux on another drive as my default boot for a year and a half in anticipation of this horseshit and was only hesitant to delete Win because my Fanatec sim racing hardware wasn't supported on Linux.

Welp, turns out hid-fanatecff is a thing. Installed the kernel driver and boom, working Fanatec peripherals. Even my Moza shifter is plug-and-play.

Bye bye Microsoft.

Is there any use for a HP Reverb G2 on linux?

[–] gray@pawb.social 12 points 1 day ago

Fully supported by Monado looks like.

Idk how recent that Monado support is, but I couldn't get the reverb G2 to work on Linux at all a couple years ago.

A couple years IRL is like 100 years in Linux time

Yeah, peripherals lol. All my sim stuff is working brilliantly in Linux, however I still have some audio production stuff I need Windows for. Unfortunately, due to the need for minimal hardware latency and all that, Wine and VMs aren't an option. Also a lack of drivers for some midi devices sucks.

[–] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago

Wine can actually beat native in latency, since it's a pretty thin translation layer and windows is ... windows.
I'd give it a shot just in case.

Really? I run my home studio in Nobara Linux without any latency issues. I use Reaper as my DAW. Are you using yabridge?

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 1 points 21 minutes ago

Yeah I have tried it, but didn't have luck unless I was driverless and that meant losing velocity. Maybe I configured wrong, it was kind of confusing but the internet said it was facing the same issues as me. Mainly this was for Roland stuff.

I was going to just get a laptop for Windows to record onto next to instruments and then transfer, but I'd rather just be able to plug into the DAW.
