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?

I have been playing with ALVR with a NON quest wireless headset. The Pico 4 does sort-of work but it does not work well enough for me to actually use it that way. That’s even with the connection being over USB instead of wireless (though it does also work wirelessly). I hope that someday ALVR is a suitable replacement for Pico Connect or that Pico Connect comes to Linux. (Running on regular Fedora btw)
