Maybe it's because I was last into linux more heavily 10+ years ago. But I am amazed at how distros work now. 15 year old wifi adapter that originally came with cd based drivers? Works perfectly without anything extra. Racing wheel i got on ebay? Works perfectly. Mouse, keyboard, tartarus, no issue. I am just very happy with how well linux has been working, and hopefully this will bring more people to make the switch. However, I have not had luck with vr (oculus. I hear index does better). Thats the one thing I do hope for more progress on.

Which oculus headset do you have? If its a Quest then ALVR is the way to go. The wired only ones dont really work. If you want to see your desktop in vr, then you can use WlxOverlay-S for that.

I've been keeping Windows to do VR, I didn't realize it was working on Linux too. Index, btw

Yeah quest 2. I haven't side loaded it or anything yet as it's a shared headset with the SO
