I want to get started with VR gaming in Linux and am looking at a headset. What are you guys using? Oculus 3 seems to be popular but I assume there are some caveats.

    Index works mostly fine. Sometimes it drops out but my Bluetooth stack hasn’t been the most stable on this install. Arch btw.

    I did grab the PSVR2 PC adapter box and it does work to get a display showing in the headset as another monitor which is pretty sweet. But the PSVR2 app on steam just straight up doesn’t work in any form of compatibility mode I’ve been able to try so it’s no dice there.

      Ah, I was hoping to hear about experiences with the PSVR2 on Linux. Too bad it doesn’t fully work yet. But that it is only a problem with the app might mean Monado support is possible.

        Yeah the box shows up as a monitor in the system display settings, can even enable it and use it like a normal display. The headset will do the spatial tracking and you can recenter with the headset button. It’s just small and low resolution so you can’t even use it for productivity. Until the app works, no games at all.
