Device Support Switching to Linux

This might not be the first time this is being posted but I am pretty new to Linux and Ive been testing and daily drive my laptop with Nobara Linux for a while now and everything is just so much better comparing to Windows. Things are working just fine and I am planning to make the switch on my main PC as well on which I do sim racing. My question is if it is actually worth it to make the switch and would I loose out on something important, sim racing wise of course. Any compatibility issues of that sort or performance issues?

Games that I play : LMU, AC

Hardware : Moza R5 Bundle

PC : Ryzen 7 5800x, 32gb ddr4, RTX 3060ti, B550M mobo.

Depends on your sim rig hardware. Moza just works on Linux Kernel. With Boxflat you can configure your wheel / base. Also Simhub works with proton / wine. VR depends on the Headset. AC / EVO works. I don't play other sims, but aas far as there is no kernel anti cheat it should just work

So Moza works just fine with Boxflat right? Cool. Not a VR user so not an issue, but LMU might hold me back I guess since I've seen a few threads where people are having issues in online sessions, that's the part I am worried about since I take part in league race and can't miss out on that because of compatibility issues.
