Portable and pretty budget, a G29 + arduino with a large LCD to show live dashboard data, head tracking with OpenTrack + PS3 Eye webcam (extremely versatile camera, pretty handy for machine vision with its 120FPS support. Only downside is 640x480 max res, and the 4x array mics only work on Linux)
Only outlier is stick shift running via the Arduino for a few reasons, mainly to reduce wires and setup/packing time (need my desk for other things too, sadly can’t afford a permanent rig), and also to avoid mapping the gears in new games. I just switch between usb emulation of a known device, or sending keypresses 1-6, R
Honestly, that doesn’t even sound that difficult to run on Linux.
It’s usually the purpose-built hardware that messes up Linux support (i.e. controlling RGB keyboards, Stream Decks, that sort of thing), a DIY setup like yours shouldn’t be that hard to port.
Then again, if you’re happy with Windows, stick with it. There’s not that much difference between maintaining a collection of hacks and registry settings to turn off Windows’ bullshit compared to installing Linux, this is a pick-your-battles thing.
