I want to get started with VR gaming in Linux and am looking at a headset. What are you guys using? Oculus 3 seems to be popular but I assume there are some caveats.

Have you tried using Wivrn instead of ALVR? I found it to work way better. Also, I don't think the Bigscreen beyond is well supported yet on Linux.

I certainly have not! Thanks for informing me.

LVRA is a great source of Linux VR info. Wivrn is easiest to setup using envision. Its biggest disadvantage is that it uses a translation layer for OpenVR games, though it works pretty well.
