Hello all,

I wanted to know the state of VR gaming on Linux: does VR work ? Are most games playable ?

I plan to buy a Valve Index, wanted to know how it would hold on a Linux system.

Thanks

I have a Valve Index, and for the most part my experience has been really good. I do recommend using an AMD GPU if you are investing in a VR system. I currently have a Nvidia GPU, and the main issue is the lack of async reprojection support.

Lots of games work great, Skyrim VR, Alyx, Contractors, No Mans Sky VR, Boneworks, you name it!

That's good to know! VR has been my main hesitation for moving off of windows for gaming. And I was considering an AMD GPU
