Its not ready for VR. Thats why my vr headset is collecting dust.

The tech is cool but evidently not worth it to find motivation to go back to win.

If you have a headset that works on Linux, everything works just fine. A lot of headsets are just missing the drivers.

Maybe if you used VR Chat all the time, but there's vfio for those cases, if needed. I just learned about it from another user, and so there's really no need to keep Windows as your primary boot partition or even have a dual boot setup.

My Quest 2 has been running VR fine. ALVR's latest update made me finally nuke my Windows partition I kept for VR.

Other than Angry Birds VR needing to have the recenter button hit after it's first launched, so far it's been fine for HL: Alyx, Beat Saber, Budget Cuts, and a few others I've tried. Literally the only workaround quirk I've found so far.
