    Not really sure how you got there. My experience with SteamVR on Linux is basically identical to Windows. Just plug and play.

      It worked perfectly like this for my Valve Index, but I ran into a lot of trouble getting my parents' Oculus Quest to work. I did get it to work eventually, but it was still kinda shit.

          Yes, but it is not only them. At one point I've also been thinking about getting HTC Vive, and technically it is possible to get it working (at least about a year ago) but it had so many caveats that it wasn't worth it. Due to VR still being pretty niche activity and VR companies being some of the most anti FOSS there are not many options apart from Valve Index.

            It's so frustrating. Literally everyone could just plug into OpenVR and everything would be compatible with everything else, but FB wants to keep people in their app store and somehow we live in the universe where they're the industry leader instead of Valve.

        Yeah, from what I've seen, most other headset will not work well. But to be fair, VR gaming on Linux is pretty niche.
