Yeah, it works good enough for the games listed above. I get a slight stutter every few minutes or so. But for now it's been playable. But I doubt that it will be enough to run Alyx comfortably.
I'm using ALVR and a Quest 1 headset. Its lower resolution should definitely help. I tried halving the resolution for Squadrons to see if it could get rid of the stutters, but it didn't help with those and instead made the game too ugly.
One caveat, I'm running OpenSUSE instead of SteamOS. That might give me slightly better performance, at least that's my subjective impression. Games run definitely better on Plasma Wayland than X11. And last time I experimented on SteamOS with VR I couldn't get it to work in gaming mode. And 2GB of zram definitely helped with City Skylines, but the impact on VR-games should be negligible.
Thank you for your reply and guidance. I’m going to go see if I can get something to work with mine.
If you do, follow https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/issues/2115#issuecomment-2130310279 with the path adjusted for the Deck. I was banging my head against the wall until I found that.
