Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    And I don't plan to switch back either. Everything is just better on Linux for me (sh.itjust.works)

    I haven't tried it myself yet, but I've heard that steam vr does not work well on Linux. Is that still the case? Occasional vr is the only thing keeping me from nuking my windows install.

    Running Steam VR using Proton works great for me.

    Works great. Very occasionally I get an error (black screen) requiring me to disconnect and reconnect the display port adapter but I get the same occasional nonsense with my regular monitor too so 🀷.

    Usually that happens after new Nvidia drivers too so...

    SteamVR on Linux works out of the box if you have a Valve Index or a HTC Vive.

    There are some others that work via ALVR but can't speak about that.

    Two caveats though:

    • Valve likes to break SteamVR for Linux with every third update and then takes weeks to fix it
    • It works but there's a lot of issues with it. From incorrectly scaled UI, to missing features, to SteamVR Home not working for a year straight

    Most of the time there are community workarounds but there's only so much they can do.
