So…yeah. I have the original HTC Vive VR, with the original Vive Wireless kit. But I guess the whole thing is pretty much useless in Linux. AFAIK it never got support. My question would be, is there any headset there with proper decent support for VR? I mean, after the whole Steam Deck and proton support, maybe things have changed?
You have the choice between ALVR and WiVRN for Quest or Pico headsets. Both work, though they have some rough edges. ALVR relies on SteamVR, while WiVRN uses the open source Monado backend. Both can play Steam games however.
