Proton 9.0-4
It looks like it has a slight resolution loss even though I'm playing at 1080p It's not unplayable at all but it is a little noticable.
Steam defaulted it's compatibility layer to the experimental proton version and that prevented me from using my VKB NXT Gladiator Joysticks. The game could not recognize them. I switched the compatibility layer to Proton 9.0-4 and now they work just fine.
I figured out that if your sticks aren't working/ being recognized by elite launching straight from steam and the proton compatibility layer go to Steam>Settings>compatibility
Where it says "Default compatibility tool: change it either to an older version of proton or just change off of proton experimental. That got my sticks working in elite on Linux Mint. I am currently using "Proton 9.0-4"
You may have to also go to Steam>Settings>Controller and disable Steam Input.
Additionally if you want to copy your key binds to a Linux installation you must first open a "file explorer" window. Then at the top go to "View" and check the box that says "Show Hidden Files". This will allow you to see the hidden ".Steam" folder that you need access to.
Next copy your key binds from your windows installation and then follow the path below in your "File Explorer" to the bindings folder where you will paste your key binds.
Pro tip: As long as you click on home in the side bar of your "File Explorer" you will be under . From there you can see your ".Steam" Folder if you have unhidden it and then follow the path below.
