It’s minimally functional, I’m dual booting for vr. It felt like there was a frame of tracking lag which got me motion sick in a static scene. I found a forum post suggesting it was a vsync timing delay that steamvr normally accounts for, but you can workaround by playing with numbers in a configuration file. I gave up there, but I ran into some other issues too.
Motion smoothing is not supported
It doesn’t automatically switch audio output
Base station sleep mode doesn’t work
Performance was generally worse than windows, pistol whip had regular frame spikes
I’ve got the gen 1 vive and a 1070, so other headsets or better gpu driver compatibility could fix that.
Cool! What’s VR on Linux like generally? I’d like to get a headset again, but not if it means going back to Windows
