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?

Quests have a ton of tools for linux and android. ALVR is on Linux. IDK about Virtual Desktop or SteamVR, but I would expect Steam has something to work on Linux. I dont know how well anything works; I just know because most of the software I use outside of the games themselves is FOSS and generally has a release for every OS.

But it's all also for the Meta Quest so... 😔
