So i recently downloded TouchRacer (seach Touchracer linux for more details), but it says to run as ROOT. Now i have no idea how to run this application as ROOT on manjaro. So please, if someone could help with this, i would really appreciate it! Thanks.

There are instructions on the website:

You should NEVER RUN ANY APP AS ROOT .

Any instructions to do so will - most likely - cause irreparable damage to your system beyond repair.

And yes I am the BOHOO MAN trying warning you and scary off that path …

Downloading and Running the GNU/Linux App


Click Here To Download The GNU/Linux App
(latest version is 20200423).

There is no installer. Just extract the files and run TouchRacerLinux (for the gui version) or TouchRacerLinux-cli (for the console version). You may have to run it as root.

sudo ./TouchRacerLinux

You will need to install the original Android app in your phone, and run this one in your GNU/Linux system. Both apps will communicate over wifi network, and the system will see the phone as if it were a joystick. You should be able to control any game that has joystick support.
