    Phew, I got lucky. Made a PR yesterday to fix direction in Conditional and Rumble force feedback. Nice it will no work properly from the get-go.

    With improvements to wine and SDL, force feedback is really shaping up to work painlessly on Linux.

        Indirectly, soon (as existing apps will end up using the sdl2-compat layer on top of sdl3 for any reasonably forward looking distro), but it will likely take some time for most apps to convert/upgrade to using sdl3 directly (legacy support, etc.).

          Valve games are already using it, even new game Deadlock is rocking sdl3

              Yes, but requires fifo-v1 and commit-timing-v1

                Are they supported in stable releases of Mutter/KWin?

                  Not yet, they're still WIP: fifo-v1, commit-timing-v1

                    At this point are there still popular distributions or good reasons to ship PulseAudio over PipeWire? I can imagine JACK might still be popular for professional audio, but your garden variety distro is likely on PipeWire at this point.
