From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

PCVR on Nobara KDE? (aussie.zone)

I am mulling over this as my project for the long weekend.

Currently my SteamVR won't talk to ALVR. But I do have ALVR on my Quest 3. I am thinking that if I can just get SteamVR to talk to ALVR, I'll be set.

I really want to get it working. I really want to get SkyrimVR as well with some good mods. Half Life Alyx is too scary for me :(. I hate having to boot up Win10 to play VR. Knowing there's a bajillion daemons running around and sucking up my data, giving it to Microsoft only to regurgitate it to force feed me ads, makes me sick.

Anyway, my question is... Am I insane? Has anyone actually managed to get PCVR working on linux or is it a completely unfeasible project that I should drop now before I wind up with PTSD?

Thank you in advance!

I'm just waiting for Valve to support their new Quest SteamVR app with Linux hosts. Once they do I can destroy my Windows 256gb install with impunity.

Damn when I saw the update news for it I was hoping it had linux support especially considering the amount of other Linux stuff valve has going on. I feel ripped off...

An engineer at Valve said they're working on Linux support for it, so it's definitely something they've got their eye on.

That's good. VR on Lennox has been unsexy so far
