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?

From the pico side of things it does require an account but you can disable any telemetry in the settings. I have looked at my network traffic with it both on and off and they do seem to be true to their word. I wouldn’t trust their apps or App Store necessarily, I just use Pico Connect to connect to my windows PC (or ALVR on Linux) and everything is steam or local from that point on. I’m pretty sure I made the account with a fake name and email and it let me.
