I haven’t tried VR in Linux

Valve Index, SteamVR, install, setup, play, no tinkering.

Now... if one does want to buy hardware from Meta (... which sadly I understand, it's so damn cheap) and Meta refuses to support Linux, well, it's kind of a decision on the buyer. Still, if one still want to tinker, because they have the hardware now, plenty of good solutions listed on https://lvra.gitlab.io/ e.g. ALVR (very convenient nowadays) or WiVRn and more.

I refuse to buy any meta product, let alone use their platforms. If I get back into VR it'll likely be Valve products

Thank you for the resource!
