  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Don't worry guys, we'll never have VR

    I can't tell if this is flippant?? steamvr works great for what I've used it for (mostly beat saber and taskmaster VR). using Nobara 40 rn

    It's just not competitive with the quality of support on Windows. It's bad enough, comparatively, that if you're a heavy VR user it's worth keeping a Windows install just for that use. There was a long post on /r/linuxgaming a few weeks back rolling up all the issues into one post, I'll try to find it. One of the best comments in the post was by a top-ranked Beatsaber player actually; he said that latency among other things was the reason he has kept dual booting -- only using Windows for VR gaming. I know that I just gave up on playing Elite: Dangerous in VR successfully because I didn't want to fuss with dual booting.

    ahhh yeah I'm not good at beat saber at all, I just think it's fun. it's easy for my smooth brain to just be happy that vr works at all 🀣

    Did you get audio working? I could never get sound out of the headset.

    [–] Xttweaponttx@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

    Yeah same here! I had a brief moment where I thought the audio coming out of my remote desktop on my phone was the headset... Dreams shattered 😭

    [–] theyllneverfindmehere@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

    Yeah not sure of their setup, but I had a big list of mandatory things that needed to work before I erased my windows partitions. VR was one of them. More specifically VR full room and VR sitting with my HOTAS and wheel setups. Everything game related works perfectly. Some VR applications I haven't gotten working or found replacements for like Virtual Desktop. (If anyone has any suggestions, that'd be amazing.)

    But long story short, VR works and it works well. I've played on both an Nvidia 3090 and an AMD 7900 XTX. I'm using Ubuntu 24.10 with Gnome Wayland.

    On occasion it complains about gnome not supporting vr. I just reboot and it works fine.
