VR gaming on Linux isn't ready, huh? Is it the drivers for the hardware, or game availability?
Notice the past tense there.
It should work. I used ALVR with my Quest 1. But I haven't done it very often as I got too ill for VR gaming.
Ah, OK.
Yeah, I went full in on PlayStation VR before I realized I would never get over the sea sickness - although, mine was mild, it was still enough that I found myself avoiding those games.
But, what I did love was using the set to watch filmed-in-3D movies. Much as I once owned an XBox just so I could play Halo (and only Halo), my PS VR set is now only ever used to re-watch Dredd in 3D. Not enough movies are filmed in 3D, and the conversions aren't with it, so I've mostly given up on 3D, myself.
I assume whatever I have to do to get it working is more effort than having a dedicated windows install.
VR is not good on Linux lmao. I have a valve index and when I used it on linux, it had super bright lights on the edges of the display. I ignored this and played for like 30 mins and after 1 month of no VR usage (busyness), I tested it on windows again and now the edges of my displays in my headset appear to be permanently tinged slightly lighter than the rest of the screen.
I'm not using my headset on linux again until people spend more time coding, because I don't want to permanently ruin expensive gear that I have lmao.
