I decided to tackle VR on Linux again since the last time I did it was two years ago and it’s one of the things keeping me on dual boot. But honestly I’m not too well versed on the latest tools to do so. My current knowledge is that:

• ALVR is used for non-SteamVR native headsets
• using NVIDIA GPUs gives lackluster results unless you’re on the Turing architecture
• the SteamVR dashboard is held together by hopes and dreams
• desktop view doesn’t work, not even on X11 + a bog standard DE installation
• I read somewhere that the default SteamVR version on Linux is older than on Windows and you need to use a beta branch?

but other than that, not much. How do you run VR on linux these days? I’m running a Quest 2 with Arch, a Ryzen 7800x3d and an RTX 4060 on my PC
