Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can't fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.

Even then that process sucks too. If you’re bleeding edge it takes a while for them to support new GPUs. And even when they do, the process can be ass/gives you ancient drivers.
I just do it on fedora 43 and it SUCKED. I ran into so many errors, and even then I still have issues. Distros like mint make it easy, but you’re usually on crusty ass drivers and probably a pretty old kernel.
