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

If you have Quest/Quest 2 you can still play VR games on Linux using ALVR.

I did make it to work on my Arch desktop, but the experience is not great as you need a lot of tweaks not to mention better to have Wifi6 and very good GPU/CPU to handle game and high resolution video encoding on top of it as both game and video encoding will eat you FPS.

But once it get connected and works with SteamVR rest works mostly fine.

But it's better to buy Index if you want to play VR games on linux.
