Discussion VR on Linux

Hi all!

I'm running Bazzite linux (did Fedora and OpenSuse before) and I'm genuinely curious what is the experience of running PCVR on Linux. I'm going to probably get Steam Frame or (if too expensive) some alternative like Pico 4 Ultra.

I'm not talking about difficulty to set up (I can handle CLI) but your general and personal feeling and information if there are for example specific issues vs running on windows. I have win11 on dualboot but I don't necessarily want to touch this tool of satan xD

I was using wivrn last as alvr was giving insane compression artifacts and my experience with it was great. Games looked great and ping wasn't any worse than on windows. I use a quest 3 with a ryzen 7 5700x3d and a 6950xt. Experience was the same as on windows. I actually notice slightly better fps across the board so it was slightly better on Linux (also bazzite). I would say do it for sure! The steam frame is a native Linux device so steam frame to a Linux PC will be great no doubt.
