When I first got it I was still on Arch and I also needed to install a kernel module but as far as I remember, I didn’t need to install anything to make it work on Fedora. I assume the driver is part of the kernel now, so it’s probably the same on other distros. Logitech might have better support but if nothing changed since then, the cheapest Logitech wheel is still a good bit more expensive than the T150.

I have the Thrustmaster T150, it was the cheapest you could get at the time (at least if you exclude the ones without force feedback which aren’t even worth getting imo) and I can confirm that it works on Linux.
