Hey, I'm making a collection of typical Linux VR problems. If you play VR on Linux too, please send me problems with solutions you had back when you started. I will write them down to make life easier for everyone. If you have no problems for me, you could read it and give me feedback, thanks. :)

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/linux_gaming
