Hey guys!
For years now, I’m thinking about buying a VR-Headset for gaming. Since I entirely switched my devices to Linux (Debian), I have to consider, if that’s even an acceptable experience so far.
My questions:
- Is VR in an acceptable state for Linux?
- Which VR-Headset could give the best experience so far?
- Are we already at the point, where VR-Headset-companies deliver decent Linux software? Maybe open-source?
Please update me! I’ve been living under a rock for too long.

I have Valve Index on Linux and it’s not good experience. Headset fails to start, often performance issues happen on AMD due to some sort of unfixed issue in open source driver. Sometimes things just don’t work and you don’t know why.
Additionally more recent Linux distros running Wayland are known to have issues too. The only wayland desktop that works reasonably well is KDE
That said I don’t know how is the experience on other headsets, but as far as Valve Index goes, the improvement happens at snails peace
