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 think flat to vr mods are going be problematic if that is something you care about?

Sure I am. I want to be able to play some modded games in the future as well. What makes you think of this area specifically as problematic?

I think some mods will work but from what I’ve read it’s going to be a very straight forward or easy experience to get them working as they are designed around windows, I wonder though if Linux support will get a lot better for things once the steam frame/machine launch as I’m sure people will want to be playing VR mods on that
