The software maker will use the Recommended section of the Start menu, which usually shows file recommendations, to suggest apps from the Microsoft Store.

I wish this was true...

...but there's still a few technical issues that keep things from running smooth.

Also, VR.

I play VR on Linux, it works surprisingly well, especially via Wayland. There's an app called Envision that sets up basically everything you need for you. Unlike a few years ago, I had to do no fiddling, it just works.

I have a Quest 2.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I do too. Envision has an option to install "WiVRn" which I found worked way better than ALVR.

I can't build an Envision profile in Bazzite, several source code packages don't exist.
