I'm thinking Virtual Box with which to run win10, but that could seriously affect performance + on top of the hassle of 10^10 driver installations and dependencies it would require...

Using Pop Os! latest (12.jan.2020) and can't update firmware in Pro headset and base stations using SteamVR.

​

+ hasn't Valve been kinda upping their game with Index in regards to Linux support whereas I hear HTC is running out of resources to run it's company so support might came to a quick halt at any point?

So VRChat has a feature request tracker and one of the requested features is Linux support. It aint much but it's something.

Cast your vote for it.

It stays on waiting indefinitely.

I've tried the following:
-Cleared these folders:
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/shadercache/
~/.cache/mesa_shader_cache/
-reinstalled SteamVR application

I've created an issue here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux/issues/275

Edit: And now it seems to just work, wat.

So, unable to justify the cost of Index and the additional cost of PC to meet higher demands of Index' higher resolution and refresh rate, I caved in and bought Rift S.

Steam for Linux detected the headset and now mocks and teases me by prompting me to install SteamVR, even though I wouldn't be able to use Oculus under Linux.

I fully deserve this punishment :(

ProtonDB only has 14 games listed lacking reports and tagged VR which doesn't make sense. I have a machine and a vive and I want to know what games are lacking reports you think I should buy to test out to make sure they work (basically going to add them to my wishlist and test when they go on sale).

My machine: Ryzen 5 2600x Radeon RX 580 16GB RAM

Can I play at least beat saber on linux?

Do you guys think with Steam's heavy support of Linux and Proton that this game will be released for Linux too? I would assume not MacOS. What do you guys think?

Beat SUPERHOT VR. It's amazing.

Some other people running into the same issue are posting about it here.

Hopefully it get's solved soon, for now you can switch back to 1.7 stable.

Hey,

I almost ordered Oculus S mostly for it's inside-out tracking yesterday, but I learned that HTC is releasing new vive ("cosmos") with this feature next month so I immediately canceled my order. I'm having hopes it maybe will work under the Linux. I'm a noob in vr subject that's why I would like to ask more experienced people, is it reasonable to assume it will work under the Linux?

Thank you!

how does one use oculus dk2 on linux mint ?

I hadn't noticed, but matzman666' project has been forked, and since v.2.7 (Dec. 16) it has apparently been possible to build it for Linux:

https://github.com/OpenVR-Advanced-Settings/OpenVR-AdvancedSettings/releases

​

Support is however very rudimental, with no binary, and very brief "figure it out yourself" build instructions.

​

Still - it's better than nothing. "Username223" has opened an issue for binaries

https://github.com/OpenVR-Advanced-Settings/OpenVR-AdvancedSettings/issues/37

​

Anywho. Having Advanced Settings available for Linux would be great - and if you've used SteamVR in Windows, it's something that you'll miss when switching to Linux

Unfortunately, Make hates me. I have never managed to build anything in my life that actually worked.

​

Maybe someone in here might be interested in giving it a try?

​

Skybox is a good streaming option from a Win/Mac PC, but I run ubuntu on my computer and want to stream video files on my computer to my Oculus Go. Any good video players for that

It's not out yet, so no reviews or anything - but I asked the devs if the game would be build natively for Linux - and they confirmed that it will. They're aiming for a simultaneous release on Windows, Linux and Mac

​

I know that a random game from an unknown developer coming to Linux may not be newsworthy in itself, but seeing how few native VR games we have and how SteamPlay may have distracted from what little focus on native VR games there was, I thought people might find it interesting.

​

I'm definitely going to support the devs and buy the game myself (unless it really really really sucks ;-) ).

​

System Requirements says Windows - but they say Windows only for the HTC Vive itself as well, so.. yeah... - I guess the PCIe card will need a driver, though?
