You can now sign up for the Steam Frame lottery - 256GB model 1049€, 1TB 1279€
(store.steampowered.com)
As of today on Linux SteamVR:
- desktop preview does not work on Wayland DEs
- dropped frames cause reprojection errors causing visual stutters
- dropped frames cause "vsync_to_photon" timing errors thus causing input lag/drunken vision
- exiting any VR game crashes SteamVR Dashboard and sometimes desktop Steam UI too
- SteamVR sometimes launches legacy UI with missing features
- SteamVR frequently fails to launch
- SteamVR does a partial "silent launch" - no desktop confirmation of VR running, but you see image inside of a headset
- SteamVR can't automatically switch audio device to headset speakers, nor supports audio mirroring
Issues which don't apply to Steam Frame but are still technically issues on legacy "Linux supported" headsets:
- Base Station power management does not work (Vive 1.0/Index 2.0)
- Room preview/cameras do not work
- Volume buttons do not work (HTC Vive Pro)
And probably many more issues I'm missing
