I have the Valve Index and I'm looking to experiment with using Linux as a daily driver (again). I've tried the latest version of Pop!_OS since I heard people have had good experiences with that, but I get various errors when starting SteamVR (some bluetooth errors, and some others that I don't remember the codes for) that don't seem to have any fixes right now. I would rather not spend an entire day downloading and installing a big list of distro's just to find out something doesn't work, so can anyone detail their good experiences using VR (ideally the Index) on Linux?

I'm by no means afraid of the terminal, so if I have to set up a few things there then that's fine, but I would rather that be kept to a relative minimum if possible.

Old GNOME maybe? Idk if wayland + mutter has anything to do with it.
