TrackIR for Linux

[Dendan]

@gyyuut : don't hold your breath - this thread may be getting thousands of views, but the developers are too ignorant of this business opportunity.
not even an moderator will care : watch this: @steven.andrews ...

My, how the world has changed since the Windows XP/Vista days of early 2008. Incredible history this thread has, and honestly, I'm not the least bit surprised with the course of inaction NaturalPoint has chosen up to this point. The viability for native Linux support back in those days...none.

However, thanks to Valve's contributions and the release of the Steam Deck in 2022, the future for Linux gaming shines brighter each passing day. A whole 1.82% according to August 2023 Steam Hardware and Software Survey. MacOs has a flat, and our eyes are set on pole position.

Marginal market share? Sure...but when I see a dollar on the ground I pick it up.

Hello @jillian.smythe!

Any news on Linux version of TrackIR?

I am thinking about selling my device, and using a webcam, but that will sadly not work as well.

Hello Vantskruv,

I have not heard any updates on this from our developers. If they decide to add a Linux version, I'll make sure we update this post (and there would likely be an announcement on our website as well).

Kind Regards,

[Vantskruv]

Thanks for your reply Jillian!

It sounds like it will not happen in the nearest time, or at all.

I will search for other hardware possibilities for the time being.
