So...yeah. I have the original HTC Vive VR, with the original Vive Wireless kit. But I guess the whole thing is pretty much useless in Linux. AFAIK it never got support. My question would be, is there any headset there with proper decent support for VR? I mean, after the whole Steam Deck and proton support, maybe things have changed?

ALVR is a thing for Quest (and maybe other?) headsets. I've been able to get it to "work", but it was a pain and would constantly have random issues.

I ended up just dual booting windows for VR.

A while ago this was the case, but lately it just works perfectly for me without any issues.
