I am mulling over this as my project for the long weekend.

Currently my SteamVR won’t talk to ALVR. But I do have ALVR on my Quest 3. I am thinking that if I can just get SteamVR to talk to ALVR, I’ll be set.

I really want to get it working. I really want to get SkyrimVR as well with some good mods. Half Life Alyx is too scary for me :(. I hate having to boot up Win10 to play VR. Knowing there’s a bajillion daemons running around and sucking up my data, giving it to Microsoft only to regurgitate it to force feed me ads, makes me sick.

Anyway, my question is… Am I insane? Has anyone actually managed to get PCVR working on linux or is it a completely unfeasible project that I should drop now before I wind up with PTSD?

Thank you in advance!

    I’m just waiting for Valve to support their new Quest SteamVR app with Linux hosts. Once they do I can destroy my Windows 256gb install with impunity.

      Damn when I saw the update news for it I was hoping it had linux support especially considering the amount of other Linux stuff valve has going on. I feel ripped off…
