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?

    I’ve since sold my Quest 2, but when I had it I was able to play my entire SteamVR library via ALVR at *comparable performance to Windows. Elite Dangerous, modded Boneworks, the whole nine yards.

    *Definitely not 1-1 with Windows, but easily at 85%+ of the performance. It does require some tweaking of your settings, and definitely benefits from a snappy network setup (wireless was basically not an option for me due to my housing/wifi situation, but the link cable worked great and was even easier to set up).
