So I've been using Linux for close to 6 months now and I do have to admit I miss how easy it was to set up VR on PC. I don't think there even is a virtual desktop application for Linux. I tried alvr but I guess something about my network didn't allow the vr goggles to communicate with my PC. But even if that worked, it would still be a matter of luck whether the VR mods I would like to use actually work on Linux. Like I'm sure it would be a hassle to get content manager for assetto corsa to run properly. So I've been considering just putting windows on a small ssd that I can use for VR.
That does seem to be most people's solution at this point, VR is unfortunately not working well on Linux.
That's because the two major VR ecosystems are run by companies that are the antithesis of open source.
Yeah, maybe Valve will start putting more work into it, but until then I'll just be happy with my 2-d life
Fair enough. I can't recommend VR enough though. It's crazy how immersive it is
