Uh

Who's ready to talk Linux

[–] Jezza 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Sadly, steam VR and fusion360 are still tying me to windows. :(

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

No they don't. Steam VR is native on Linux, and most of fusion 360 can run in wine. Good news for you!

Steam VR runs on Linux natively, doesn't it? I switched to Linux a few weeks ago but haven't tried VR gaming on it yet.

It does, but performance seems a lot laggier than Windows.

I've been using Linux full time for a while now, and only recently installed Windows on a secondary drive, just for those two things.

Before, on Linux, it was a bit of mixed bag. Sometimes it would start up without issue, other times sound wouldn't work, etc.

Using corectl is a must, and make sure you have a stable steam install. (iirc the steam I installed didn't come with half of the 32 bit libs it was expecting). I'm rocking a 7900xtx, so it's not exactly low-end, and half-life alyx was giving me a lot of stutters.

I can imagine the frustration of lag in vr.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I have quite a different experience, can't tell if it is placebo or not, but my vr experience is slightly smoother in Arch Linux compared to my Windows 10.

i play VR via Proton using ALVR (steamvr) or Wivrn

But i havent tried playing Alyx on linux yet
