      Actually. I recently started using Linux for the first time, I play a wide variety of games and my laptop I was trying it on, 1 game didn’t work on Linux that (barely, buggy as hell and abandoned by devs) worked on Windows, but 2 other games that didn’t run smooth enough on Windows to be playable, ran fine on Linux, all the others were about the same. Gaming experience has far far exceeded my expectations going in and expecting lots of headaches and issues.

      It‘s really sooo much better. But it lacks in one area: PCVR. SteamVR for Linux feels a bit more janky, but that’s not really the main issue.

      The issue is that, to stream from PC to the quest line of devices, you need oculus’s software, which only runs on windows.

      ALVR exists, but its compression and latency are considerably worse in my experience.

      So I have a small separate SSD for windows :(
