The Steam Deck is changing how normies think of gaming PCs.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

VR headsets and games with anti-cheat software still have issues. I haven't been able to get Oculus Rift S to work for example.
I think some headsets like the ones made by Valve and HTC work better though. I'm not sure if there's currently the same degree of rapid advancements for VR Linux gaming as there are for gaming in general on Linux. I know OpenHMD exists but I haven't tried it out myself.
My Vive Pro does work - but not as nicely as it did on windows. Driver support for stuff like reprojection doesn't seem to be there.
Yeah that’s kinda what I was expecting.
I don’t really have a vr setup right now (have a psvr, the tracking sucks but I want to like it) but I was thinking maybe an index at some point..
Tho tbh if I need to keep a windows pc for that to work… I can… I won’t be thrilled for it, but my laptop is touchscreen and running 11… idk how Linux does with touchscreen so I haven’t changed it out yet, probs could upgrade the hardware to game off it.
Have you tried using the PSVR on your computer?
Not yet, but I looked into it before I bought it and I’ve seen that it can be done as sort of a viewing unit? If I understand correctly that’s all it would be, which is still probably a powerful tool, but I just got the vr like a month ago and then immediately got two surprise kittens so I have not had time to play at all, much less do anything fancy with it.
However if you want to tell me all about it, I am more than happy to learn from a person rather than an impersonal article. Really.
I would have linked an article. I haven't experimented with it myself but it seems like there's one paid project available through Steam that aims to support the PSVR
No worries.
It’s a thing I’ll probably do at some point. Just for kicks. I’m a big fan of playing around with hardware to save money 😁 but it’ll probably be a while before I get to it. I have some self hosting and automation to learn to do first (not super knowledgeable presently, but omfg is the fediverse helpful with tech stuff 💜)
Me too. Messing around with hardware is something that's always stuck with me from when I was a teenager. If you give the PSVR thing a test mind messaging me or commenting so I can hear how it goes?
I was also messing with hardware/software starting in teens. Grew up during the brief period in which home computers were fairly common though still quite expensive, but pc repair shops weren’t really around.
I will try to remember, but it might not be for a while. :)
