    I've used Valve Index on linux which seemed to work fine, but I only tried beat saber, will try some more games tonight and will let you know.

    I'm still holding out hope for WMR to go open source. Loads of folks are offloading their HP G2s and it's a decent set for the money. If Microsoft really wants to support open source and not make this popular 5 year old set e-waste they have a simple win here.

    I sold mine one recently and went with a HTV Vive Cosmos pro so I can keep using my Windows specific VR games. Sucks to have them kill my less than 1 year old Christmas gift, but it didn't really feel like there was much that I could do about it.

    I used an oculus quest to connect to my PC and it worked alright. I just needed the free world version of mesa and I still had to use x. But that was 9ish months ago

    Support is ... haphazard at best. Integration into OS package suites require the devs of different subsystems to agree on a set of dependencies actually supported by mainstream distros.

    SteamVR Linux needs serious updating.

    Getting a Quest to VR wirelessly in a manner that is actually usable is an exercise harder than brain surgery.
