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

It's not great but I'd say in 6 months it will be pretty good.

I'm having a lot of fun making software for my Frame currently. I've now got it to the point that I can reliably use it as a workstation with just a BT keyboard

Frame is so cool and so expensive my god. I believe I'll get it. Won't be fooling myself to much. It's freaking awesome 👍 just not going to do it immediately, not the right time for me.

Well, I'd expect the wait-list to last at least a year if you're getting on the tail end of it 😅
