    I wish this was true…

    …but there’s still a few technical issues that keep things from running smooth.

    Also, VR.

      I mean, yeah, a few, but there are plenty with Windows too, and the overwhelming majority of games I’ve tried it with work fine.

      I play VR on Linux, it works surprisingly well, especially via Wayland. There’s an app called Envision that sets up basically everything you need for you. Unlike a few years ago, I had to do no fiddling, it just works.

          I do too. Envision has an option to install “WiVRn” which I found worked way better than ALVR.

            I can’t build an Envision profile in Bazzite, several source code packages don’t exist.

            Which I have already tried - it don’t Wayland, and I get legendary stuttering when moving about. No go.

              Are you using Nvidia, if so that might be why I am running it just fine on an AMD gpu on wayland using Nobara

              So you bought proprietary windows hardware and youre upset it doesn’t have good enough performance? Seems short sighted but okay.

                I bought what was affordable on the used market. And VR stuff is almost entirely Windows exclusive, with only the Index having a native Linux compatibility via the recent SteamVR Linux port. While the Quest series (and a Pico, its Chinese competitor) run a special version of Android, they don’t have the performance in standalone mode that a PC has. Besides, my library of VR games are all on the PC.

                And before you say “you shold have Index”, I will point out the very, very high cost and requirement for external tracking hardware, aka “the lighthouse”, something I lack the space for.

                  Maybe vr just isnt affordable yet? If its proprietary garbage, it’s just not yours. Lock-in is bullshit, and freedom sometimes requires sacrifice-even of toys and treats.
