Microsoft wants to update your Windows 11 PC without forcing you to reboot

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Living room PC is also used for playing VR games (since living room has the space required). Sadly Windows is the only option.
Pure curiosity, I don't own VR gear, does the Linux steam version not have VR?
Steam itself does support VR on Linux, but most of the actual hardware (like Meta headsets) don't have drivers for Linux. The ones that do (Valve Index) are buggy, but not unusable. But even then it doesn't get you far, because 90% of VR games won't run on Linux, even with Proton.
So Steam is not the problem. Hardware support and developer support is the problem. Can't really blame developers for not caring, even if they make their VR game work on Linux almost no one would be able to play it anyway, so why bother. It won't get anywhere unless hardware manufactures start making actual drivers for their headsets on Linux. Meta practically controls the market and they don't care, so here we are.
A Steamlink app was added to the Meta store recently. It supposedly allows playing streamed desktop VR. I have been meaning to try it with Steam on my Linux desktop, so I can't really vouch for it yet, it could just not work. And who knows if Proton works for any specific VR games.
