    Yeah, I’d love to get a VR headset, but there just aren’t even games to play on Linux, and the headsets with good Linux support are either expensive or hard to find.

    Hopefully that improves, I imagine it’s stopping people from switching to Linux.

      Even the Index, Valve’s own headset has had broken functionality for years with no fixes in sight. Valve refuses to fix big stuff like the cameras, base stations not turning on, or even automatic audio switching.

      Not to mention steamvr reprojection is completely broken.

      For me, I have been dual booting, but I have also had my linux set up for a few months now and was using it exclusively until i got my quest 3.

      I can definitely see the allure of just sticking to windows if one plays pcvr exclusively or if one just hasn’t taken the plunge into linux yet.

      I really do hope that support comes. Either officially or unofficially by a linux savant who knows this stuff.

        Yup. One by one the papercuts are getting resolved, so hopefully it’s just a matter of time before VR support gets better. Ideally Valve gets interested again and makes another push for Linux VR (maybe some tie-in with the Deck?), otherwise we may be waiting a while.
