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

    I have an HTC vive and it has worked pretty well. I have a script to turn on the basestations and manually kill the script and they power off. HL:A works well. I don’t have a lot of experience with other games yet though.

      How do you toggle power to your base stations? Mind sharing the script?

        I don’t mind doing so, but I cuurently am away from my desktop and won’t be for a couple weeks. I didn’t find the repo for the program, but did find this one though. Looks like it should work. At least with the vive, linux doesn’t/can’t use its bluetooth controller, so you need a compatible bluetooth controller in your system.
