I’m nervous about switching from Microsoft due to the lack of support for VR. Does this make VR/ALVR on Linux viable now?
I play BeatSaber and few more VR games using ALVR and it’s working great. (But I know that not all VR games fully work on Linux)
But you just need to know that its for Quest headsets running mostly over Wi-Fi (but you can also run over USB) so your milage may vary depending on your WiFi setup.
I use Arch btw 😅
Wait you’re using a quest on Linux via WiFi? Q3? VR is what is stopping me from switching to Linux on my main. Are we there yet?
I use a quest 1 on Linux.(According to the alvr the quest 3 is also fully supported) Played about the last half of half life on Linux.
However some VR games just don’t run well under proton I still have windows installed for that. Even if i didn’t boot into windows for a half year now.
Also first recommend installing Linux in dual boot with windows if you don’t know if al your programs/games work. Nowadays most stuff works but you can always keep windows for just in case.
It is already viable, have a look at lvra.gitlab.io for information about what works and what does not. I’ve tried to use ALVR before but eventually switched to wivrn since I found it to be more reliable, probably since it does not rely on SteamVR.
