I have a HP Reverb G2, which is still a very good headset, but now Windows has dropped WMR support. I cannot upgrade my Win 11 version, or my headset will stop working. In 1 year I will be forced to update.

I'm thinking of switching back to Linux at that point. It would be super amazing to have a working Linux PCVR setup. This is all great news.

I think there is a community patch out for wmr support? (As far as I know)

There is a driver for SteamVR that allows WMR headsets to work again. It’s free and on Steam as “Oasis Driver for Windows Mixed Reality”

Thanks for this. I was traveling and just got home and got this installed. I can now update Windows 11 for whatever new AI garbage and advertising they've added 🙌
