I recently experimented with ALVR on my Deck after overcoming some hurdles it actually worked quite well. Overload and Hellblade ran surprisingly well, even on the Deck. Just a hickup every 15 minutes or so when it was loading something, I guess.
Caveat: I don’t run SteamOS, so it’s a little bit easier for me to have all the dependencies.
I did look into it around December but saw the index wasn’t playing nice with Linux. I may look back into it, as thats all thats keeping Windows installed at this point.
There were some recent fixes to Steam VR but I have never tried a VR headset myself. It should work on Wayland with a compositor that supports DRM-leasing protocol, so basically everything but GNOME.
All of my games run better on Linux, only reason for windows now is VR.
My main games are Star Wars Battlefront 2, Star Citizen, Minecraft and Cyberpunk

Have you tried running modded minecraft on linux, how good would you say it runs of at all possible
Yeah, it runs better in my experience. I want to say, it may be different depending on the hardware just like Windows.
I use prism launcher, it auto installs fabric, forge, etc for you.
Just curious: Have you tried VR with ALVR under Linux? What is holding you to Windows?
I picked up a Quest 3 recently, and have been having success running it under Linux. That said, I don’t know any different.
