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.
There are dozens of us!! Dozens!!
