Yep, I’ve seen MS flight simulator fans basically create entire cockpits in their house with a crap tonne of screens for 180-degree vision and hook up all the 3rd party peripherals.
There’s just no way this will ever work seamlessly on Linux
Yeah, but Xplane 12 does work natively and perfectly on Linux and MacOS. So there’s that.
But I guess if you start adding several joysticks (minimum of 3 for an aircraft, joystick or yoke, rudder, throttle quadrant) with assorted softwares it becomes a bit of a headache and most probably it won’t be 3 joysticks from the same vendor.

And today we have the Chinese winwings that makes full glareshield and mcdu at acceptable prices https://eu.winwingsim.com/view/goods-details.html?id=925 so that’s another software to configure.
And all of that is only for one aircraft type (Airbus in my example) 😅
