    nobara -

    indeed, it doesn't show up. I've read somewhere it should show up after starting steamvr and the headset but it didn't. steamvr is also freezing everything outsids of itself on startup 😎 so its not the only issue

    it was properly connected, i even tried a few different usb ports

    your reaction suggests it should work out of the box...

    then i suspect i messed something up pretty early on when i got this pc and tried things i didn't quite understand (or by now, remember). i still mostly fly blind, learning the basics of linux bit by bit with every failure

    lol same, i'm on pop os now because i broke mint in some way
    but yeah i didn't fiddle with the index, it worked straight away. have you tried it in windows? just to eliminate hardware issues

    yeah it works fine on my weaker and older windows pc. if the desire to slice and dice flying cubes is overwhelming, i setup everything on there. disappointing but not the only use case for my windows pc.

    hmm maybe a clean reinstall with another distro is justified after all (or the same again, but without messing up lol) the hassle of redownloading all the games again doesn't bring joy tho
