I prefer a user-friendly interface, plus I regularly use VR with my Quest, which Linux does not like

There are legitimate reasons not to use Linux, but the user interface is not one of them, Linux can be way friendlier UI-wise than windows, see Desktops like cinnamon.

if you want to be super cursed I've seen people replicate several of the windows UIs with desktop environment themes

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 3 points 6 days ago

For sure, not hard to do, and even part of the fun (ricing).

I think VR might actually be a reason to still use windows unless something changed in the last two years

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's what I have heard, but I'm talking about UI superiority.

The only issue I have with my Index is that linux somehow prioritizes it over my main monitor when booting so i have to plug it in after booting and then all works fine.

[–] wurstgulasch3000@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago

Index probably works fine but I don't know about non valve headsets

Guess what, people can have the Windows UI without doing anything beyond what they're already doing.

WiVRn from quest app store, wivrn desktop app. I also needed xrizer nightly for secondary gun mode to work in half life alyx. Can't guarantee much else though since I only really play beat saber.
