Hello all,

I wanted to know the state of VR gaming on Linux: does VR work ? Are most games playable ?

I plan to buy a Valve Index, wanted to know how it would hold on a Linux system.

Thanks

    Yes, it mostly works (HTC Vive Pro here). It can be janky at times when you have to restart SteamVR and fiddle with the audio output. Also on Gnome you need to use X11, while on KDE it works already with Wayland. Ah and turning off the base-stations via Blootooth doesn’t work, so you need to unplug them or use a phone app to turn them to sleep mode.

      Okay, thank you for your input.

      I’ve heard that Beat Saber no longer works on Linux, have you tried it recently ?

      In any case, I might try to run Windows on a VM with GPU passthrough.
