  • SteamVR-for-Linux

    Issue tracker for the Linux port of SteamVR

    • I'm grateful that Valve has offered Linux support for the Valve Index, but it's indeed extremely buggy and frustrating to deal with, and waiting around for support in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux is not at all fun. This is partially why we started developing our Linux-based headset as an alternative (https://simulavr.com -- though this is more focused on productivity use cases than gaming use cases).

  • ALVR

    Stream VR games from your PC to your headset via Wi-Fi

    • Theoretically oculus quest 2 should work through https://github.com/alvr-org/alvr, but I think their linux support is still a bit iffy (check your distro's package repos) Also you'd need to enable developer mode to sideload apps which temporarily requires a phone number or credit card (and ofc a facebook / meta account) All those can be spoofed though with some effort...
