Quest2 has issues in linux too. I cant get it to work. Im selling mine and getting a set of nreal glasses instead. Way more useful to me until linux vr support is solid in some headset
I was planning on using the Quest 2 as a standalone headset (unless I'm referring to the wrong headset) detached from my computer.
It will do that fine. Nice little toy to mess with. I spend more time wathing plex on it than anything hence getting the glasses
The NReal glasses are cool-looking and would be something I'd consider getting if I had anywhere near that amount of money.
If you would just stick to playing games on the Quest 2/3 directly that should be fine. The Quest 2 can run basic games, so it does limit you a bit. For example VR Chat has some worlds with too many assets that are not playable on the Quest 2 directly. From what I remember you would be limited to Meta’s store though.
Unfortunately VR seems to be a niche thing so I doubt this will get a lot of priority on Linux.
