I would vote against getting something like a T490 as it has one memory slot soldered onto the motherboard and it has the same processor as the T480 anyways iirc.

Yeah I have an Oculus Rift S and the hardware support is pretty bad and I haven't really gotten it to work. Obviously a vendor issue, and i don't see meta open sourcing or releasing any drivers for linux anytime soon.

This is actually pretty huge, props to the GNOME developers for this.

Hopefully VR support will improve on linux, literally the only reason I keep a windows drive around is for vr and nothing more.

It's definitely a vendor problem rather than an os problem. But it's still a problem that the biggest manufacturer in the VR space has no support for Linux, hence i find it a bit farfetched to say VR is usable on Linux when the most popular hardware is not being supported by it's vendor.

Though there are community efforts like Monado that looks pretty promising!

Any source regarding "VR being usable" on linux? The current development seems pretty stale and it doesn't seem like that's gonna change anytime soon, especially if you own any Oculus headsets that predates the quest. I do hope the rumors of valve making the deckard are true, but those are just rumors and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Not exactly surprising. The previous TWD games that based themselves on the TV show has been pretty bad.

Mine would probably be: sudo apt install steam on Pop OS, it warned me I was about to delete essential packages but I went through with it and just like that my de was gone (I was still relatively new to Linux). Those who have watched the Linus Tech Tips linux challenge knows what I'm talking about
