I'm still getting one but this is clearly a luxury item now rather than a competitive console. Sucks to be Valve here, the timing really worked against them.

I just really hope the VR headset is not much worse than this as I just want to play No Man's Sky on linux VR.

    Yeah, I live in a small space so the steam deck is my only gaming device. Never tried VR but was considering the steam frame just for the big screen experience.

    The timing here really fucked valve. They announced these products around the same moment that component prices went through the fuckin roof. Hopefully the price will drop in a year or so

    Should work already https://www.protondb.com/app/275850 if you have a Valve Index and a good gaming Linux desktop.

    Yes with recent Steam VR Beta branch I got my Quest 3 to work but it takes like 5 attempts to get it working and you have to restart either pc or vr device every attempt. It's very close though! By the time the VR device actually drops Valve will probably fix Steam VR on linux.

    Very finicky but feasible. Yes I imagine once the Frame is out that'll be a lot more convenient and reliable.

    I'm hoping to get back into VR with the Frame. My Index is in rough shape and fighting both the hardware and software is a pain. Last time I tried, I got headset to connect and couldn't get room calibration to launch on Nobara, but I think there was an update since then.

    Probably a SteamVR bug, might want to check https://wiki.vronlinux.org/ there might some useful hints. I encountered few hiccups but so far nothing from preventing me to play.

    The SteamVR room setup application is bug prone. It’s possible to circumvent the room setup application using quick calibration.

    Thanks, Seems It's not just me. I'll have give it a try next time.
