I saw there was a somewhat similar post to this, but I'm kind of celebrating the fact that this was the first year I was able to game exclusively on Linux! I'm very thankful for all of the effort from the people involved in all of the aspects of Wine/Proton, it's great to not need to reboot to play games.

I wouldnt be suprised if they would release SD 2 with VR support in few years ;D

That could definitely be a possiblity! While I can't say I would use it a huge amount, VR is something that I would like to tinker with in the future. My understanding is that it still needs some work on Linux, but that may be changing.

Steam could pusht stuff like that too! They pushed linux compatibility with steamdeck and i could see that they push it with their vr headset. and they just need to improve the linux compatibility and then theoretically both steamos and all other linux distros can run easily steamvr

I could definitely see it happening that way. I don't think anything has been announced either way, but I know I had seen some rumors or speculation about a possible semi self-contained VR headset from Valve. If that turns out to be fact, I could see them using Linux as the base for it.
