Almost every distro I’ve used so far ends up having problems installing Steam due to mismatching i386 packages. I’ve heard that they’re being removed upstream. Anyone happen to know a timeline?

I use the Steam flatpak. The nice thing about that is that 32bit libraries aren’t installed on the host system.

Only reason I haven’t done that is because of VR. Not sure if VR works through flatpak.

SteamVR works on Linux? What headset, if I may ask?

Can report that ALVR with a Quest 2 works great.

Works perfectly fine, actually. I have a Valve Index. The only headsets with Linux support are the one I have, the HTC Vive and standalone headsets that work with ALVR (e.g. the Quest ones).

Not out of the box, but you can make it work.

I’d be down to set that up. I thought VR just flat out doesn’t work with flatpak. Do you know where I can find out how to set it up?

That’s what I’ve resorted to but it’s not working as well as the apt package. Freezes often, cloud sync breaks repeatedly.
