 @winston:milli.ng | Last time I tried SteamVR on linux, I could never get it to work right (year+ ago), whats the current state? Can I reasonably move off windows for VR content? | 19:19:32 |
| @winston:milli.ng | Work right in this case meaning it would never actually send the video to the headset, either it displayed nowhere or only displayed in a small window on my desktop somwhere. | 19:20:34 |
 Charles ⚡️ | try again and find out | 19:53:12 |
| Charles ⚡️ | probably depends on what hardware you have | 19:53:37 |
| Charles ⚡️ | things are generally good on my amd gpu, though i haven't tried steamvr 2.0 | 19:53:49 |
 @atemu12:matrix.org | winston: It works for me | 19:53:58 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | The experience on Linux is even worse than on Windows though | 19:54:48 |
| Charles ⚡️ | can you elaborate on "the experience" | 19:55:29 |

| @atemu12:matrix.org | Like the fact that async reprojection does not work in containerised contexts | 17:24:28 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | SteamVR on Linux does not get a lot of love. It's stagnated years ago | 17:24:55 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | We're lucky to get updates and even luckier to get any sort of QA | 17:25:10 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | The last major update just... broke Linux. Completely. Took them a week to fix. | 17:25:33 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | (And then they broke it again.)\ | 17:25:42 |

| @winston:milli.ng | Well, that doesn't instill confidence in my Christmas break experiment. | 19:46:28 |
|  papojari 🏳️🌈 changed their display name from Anna Aurora 🏳️🌈🏴☠️🕳️ to Anna Aurora (superseded by @annaaurora:artemislena.eu). | 20:41:37 |
| Charles ⚡️ | IME lighthouse controls are jank regardless, I just manually plug/unplug them lol | 21:31:55 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | I use an Android app | 22:07:28 |
