I’ve fully given up on vr in Linux after spending a whole day trying to get it to work. I have Nobara and modern AMD hardware, tried SteamVR and FOSS VR (envision) (which was awful to set up on the “gaming OS”). I booted into my windows partition, clicked a button to update AMD Adrenalin (and several years of windows updates) and VR simply worked.

I love Linux but it definitely has its own issues. My boss (who got me into Linux) vented some of his frustrations with Linux while installing Android studio: “linux makes up a few percentage of the userbase but 90% of the OS’s. It’s far too splintered.” I have to agree, and it’s why i will likely always have a windows partition. Because things just work, and if they don’t I have a wealth of information on the internet because there is only one OS people can have this problem with.

I think the valve and the steam deck is doing the linux community a massive solid and somewhat unifying the Linux gaming community.

Please do! I had spent solid day researching open source CALDAV server/clients to replace Google calendar for my boss. Almost no options on that front.
