Another sweet new release of pyLinuxWheel is up, giving you even more options for managing your Logitech Steering Wheel on Linux thanks to new features.
In version 0.6.0 released today, there's a new profile saving feature. An incredibly handy feature, allowing you to set up the range, resistance, gain, change to an alternate mode and so on to save and load those specific settings any time. Useful, since certain types of racing games are better with a different range on the wheel as just one example.
There's also multiple bug fixes, plus new distribution packages available.
As a reminder, it supports a ton of Logitech stuff like Driving Force (EX, RX, Pro, GT), G25, G27, G29, G920, Logitech Racing Wheel USB, WingMan Formula (Yellow, GP, Force GP) and MOMO (Force, Racing). Great to have free and open source applications like this, taking away any hassle of Wheel adjustments on Linux.
See it on GitLab, download easily from itch.io where there's also some pre-made community profiles you can also download to try.

The hardware may work, but that's because of the Linux community not because of Logitech. You'll also won't get official support from them.
Type Linux into the Logitech forums and you'll see what I mean. About 50 pages of them either dodging all the questions or flat out saying official Linux support isn't happening. They have no interest in officially supporting Linux.
I think the firmware update support (fwupd) is official and driven by Logitech.
Okay thanks. Do you have any recommendations which peripheral companies have official + good Linux support?

Quoting: PatolaQuoting: chimpyHey Liam I know you wrote an article a couple of years ago about your experience with the g29 racing wheel under Linux, but maybe you can do an update to that article since more games and more applications to configure the wheel have popped up. Oh and also your experiences with using it with Proton would be nice too :)Don't forget the new out-of-kernel driver new-lg4ff from the author of Oversteer. I tested it on American Truck Simulator, works nicely with my G29 -- and it also works through wine too (City Car Driving and others).
A new versión (0.2 "Merry Christmas") has just been released with important improvements. Take a look to it:

Hey Leillo. Yeah, great news! I wanted to give this a try a few days ago. Unfortunately my G25 is broken and we have that stupid regression in wine (AMS) :/
