From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah I have an Oculus Rift S and the hardware support is pretty bad and I haven't really gotten it to work. Obviously a vendor issue, and i don't see meta open sourcing or releasing any drivers for linux anytime soon.
Yeah, I have a Valve Index, which is officialy supported on Linux, so I don't have any issues in that regard. I think the only headsets that work well on Linux are the two with official support (HTC Vive and Valve Index) and the Quest headsets because of ALVR.
Considering they specifically removed Linux support of the earlier headsets, I doubt it too.
Have a look at lvra.gitlab.io. It should be possible to get the rift s mostly working.
