Hello all,
I wanted to know the state of VR gaming on Linux: does VR work ? Are most games playable ?
I plan to buy a Valve Index, wanted to know how it would hold on a Linux system.
Thanks

Okay, thank you for your input.
I’ve heard that Beat Saber no longer works on Linux, have you tried it recently ?
In any case, I might try to run Windows on a VM with GPU passthrough.
Beat Saber is the only VR game I play on my HTC Vive (2016 model) and it works fine. If you want mods, however, you need to switch to the legacy branch in Steam (1.29.1) since 1.30 had major changes and mods haven´t been updated for it yet.
For mod installation, I use Beataroni, but there are alternatives.
While Steam does not support sending the base stations to sleep via Bluetooth, there is a python script which (after setting it up) can do so for you. My process is:
Since I have old base stations, I use the script for controlling v1 lighthouses: https://github.com/risa2000/lhctrl. The author also made a script for v2 lighthouses: https://github.com/risa2000/lh2ctrl. I only have experience with the HTC Vive so your mileage may vary.
