I really want to put Linux on my gaming PC, but I'm doubtful I can get my Rift S working on there. :/

Apparently there is an openxr driver for it, though, so I suppose I should at least give it a shot.

There's absolutely no way I'm going to win11, though.

Nobara or Pop! OS would be good choices.

Yeah, VR is still catching up, but I feel like (dual) booting to Win 10 just for specific purposes would greatly reduce the risk.

I'd just be scared of windows trying to clobber my nix partition.

Use separate disks.

Haven’t had issues since the 2000s. Use a separate boot partition, use UEFI, you’re golden.

Yeah, this is why I never got into VR, the Linux support blows even if you get a supported headset because the games aren't made for Linux. There are some games, sure, but it's not worth spending $1k+ on an Index.

I'll use it once the barrier to entry drops or Linux support improves.
