I yes, I should have mentioned the distro+hardware on this system is Mint with an AMD CPU and 6900XT GPU. AMD drivers are pretty well supported in Linux. I also run some Debian systems which do well, though I've not tried VR on them

There can be some issues with Nvidia cards due to proprietary drivers but I've heard they're now supporting a FOSS driver in newer cards so as long as you've got one of those you should be good.

    Awesome thank you.... Did a little digging and I think I'm good. I have a 4070ti desktop card and 3070ti mobile both seem to be solid.

    I have actually used mint previously. I use Linux a lot but not as an os per se. I'm a developer for a living and the bulk of disks I spin up are Linux based. Different use case but hopefully some of that knowledge will transfer :)
