Just curious: Have you tried VR with ALVR under Linux? What is holding you to Windows?

I picked up a Quest 3 recently, and have been having success running it under Linux. That said, I don't know any different.

I did look into it around December but saw the index wasn't playing nice with Linux. I may look back into it, as thats all thats keeping Windows installed at this point.

There were some recent fixes to Steam VR but I have never tried a VR headset myself. It should work on Wayland with a compositor that supports DRM-leasing protocol, so basically everything but GNOME.
