Windows 11 keeps trying to install different stuff, notifying you about how great edge is, requires new hardware, and more. Windows 12 is rumored to be cloud only with a subscription?

What will do you?

The ONLY thing keeping me off Linux atm is VR.

My use case is more specific than just a Valve Index though. I have a Windows Mixed Reality headset (Samsung Odyssey HMD+) and requires windows to run well and feature full.

I really like having the option to whip out VR at a moments notice. Maybe ill dual boot linix, but it seems like a pain for whats essentially going to be my home media console/gaming rig.

I did turn my old rig into a Linux computer for my personal desktop. Loving Pop OS! From a casual perspective. I just need my browser, steam, and some FOSS linux alternatives.

I switched to Linux the other day. I still have Windows installed in case I need it for things, and I still have GamePass, which requires windows. I've been using Linux for just about everything though since I installed it. It's such a nicer experience. You don't have to choose a singular OS though luckily. You can have both available.

Regarding VR, Monado (OpenXR for Linux) continues to improve, they'll get WMR going, completely, eventually.

Edit: it's further along than I thought. Apparently you can get even hand tracking working. Gotta look into it further, but it appears that you use Monado as your OpenXR client, along with ALVR/ALXR.

Fantastic news. Im totally down to go down this rabbit hole again and see where these projects are sitting now. Thanks for the heads up.

Same, I was considering Linux, but I have a reverb g2, so atm it's a no go.
