WMR VR headsets on Linux (lemmy.ca)

Reading up on some of the more recent posts regarding VR on Linux, I'm wondering if anyone can give a quick rundown of the actual state of VR gaming on Linux for users of WMR headsets like the HP Reverb G2.

Seeing as Microsoft is about to nuke that entire ecosystem later this year, it would be great if there's a way for people that invested in these headsets to continue using them on Linux, instead of turning a whole slew of devices into fresh e-waste.

Thanks!

Monado is the only semi-viable thing at the moment, but it's still really in the tinkerer phase. Annoyingly, much of the discussion about it is on discord.

EDIT: And Linux VR Adventures is the place to go for relatively simple instructions about how to set things up, and what is currently supported.

Discord is not by choice, it's just where all the users already are. Eveything fron discord is bridged into this matrix space though https://matrix.to/#/#monado:matrix.org

Yeah, I understand. It was more of a shout into the void type comment, then a criticism.

Thanks! Sounds like decent progress hady been made in this area already. I'll keep an eye on this project so that when 24H2 drops I've got a way to avoid turning my headset into e-waste.
