Bro do some research before you come in making outrageous statements.

There are absolutely a wide variety of plug-n-play headsets that just work. Take the valve index for example. I have heard that headset works just fine out of the box. Same with any steamvr relient headset if I am not mistaken.

When you use a headset that depends on third party software that’s when a little more setup is required. However we still have options that won’t be a massive headache.

Like the cv1 for example, you can use something like openhmd and use your cv1 just fine on steamvr.

And that’s also not to say that something like a quest 2/3 isn’t hard either. Alvr is easy to install it’s just about tweaking proper settings for your network. Which you may alrwady need to do if you’ve used virtual desktop.

Then there is wivrn. But you get my point.

Linux is more than gaming ready. Ever heard of protondb? Maybe give it a look. If an online game doesn’t work that is of fault of the dev/publisher not making the anticheat compatible. Valve has consistently worked with anti-cheat devs like battle eye and easy anti-cheat to make it easy on the dev side to make their anti-cheat version support proton. Yet somehow we have large companies like rockstar not putting in that simple effort.

Please stop spreading misinformation. It harms the absolute mountainload of work put in by people who have gotten linux to be where it is now. Get mad and point blame at your game devs/publishers for being so uncooperative.

What is your daily driver headset for linux on vr?

Been trying to setup wivrn/alvr on quest 3 and I am losing my mind lol. Thinking aboutt just going back to my rift and using openhmd.

Yes because when someone else’s suffering is worse it means your suffering is invalid. By that nature no one should ever bring up their trials and tribulations because someone always has it worse.

“Yes, we fund Matrix dev by selling encrypted messaging to governments, which includes police: if you don’t like that then please feel free to use a different app.”

Idk that seems pretty clear to me that they are selling encrypted messages to governments and police. Not only that all the comments interpret it the same way.

EDIT: The more I read it the more I become unsure. Hopefully they elaborate. To me I am confused at the service they are selling. Matrix is open source these organisations could dedicate their own employees to spin it up. Do they have somewhere you can purchase the same service? The phrasing is what gets me. It feels like they are referring to already sent messages and data. If they were referring to a service they provide, that should be clearly stated.

I had seen a post from the official element account that said something along the lines of “we send encrypted data to the government. If you don’t like that, element isn’t for you.” Not word for word accurate but you get the gist. I didn’t know if that statement only applied to the official matrix.org server or self hosted instances as well.

What do you mean by “traditional video calling”? Are video calls not encrypted? Is traditional meaning out of the box video calling? What is the alternative?

Yeah this is my issue… Guess I gott just wait then thank you for the help!

More so overall privacy and encryption features. That’s all I really care about. Will my encryption become less secure?

I will for sure check out conduit!

I will try and reinstall lutris but I have been having a lot of issues woth it. do you reccomend the kde store version or native? I’ve been usimg native amd it just doesn’t want to work with epic or gog. Hell I couldn’t get it working with silent hill 2 enhanced edition. (it refused to launch)

EDIT: I am quite the fool and didn’t uncheck “show installed games only” egg on my face

nvidia proprietary drivers and I am getting similar performance on x11 and wayland.

3070

ryzen 7 3700x

16gb ram

arch linux

I have tested both proton experimental and peoton 9.0-3 (9.0-3 was reccomended per protondb) i gave both of those a whirl for about an hour each.

I did not move the symlink and compat data. I did delete the compat data with protontricks and move the game to my ext4 partition (the partition Linux is installed on). Still the same bad performance.

I am using ntfs-3g I will try switching it to ntfs3

Nah I am using a desktop:

3070

Ryzen 7 3700x

16gb of RAM

to move the compatdata and sysmlink do I paste the command as is if steam is installed natively in the default location?

$ mkdir -p ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata $ ln -s ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata /media/gamedisk/Steam/steamapps/

this will be my final straw solution. I am gonna try to get the games from stuttering on my ext4 drive (it’s happening there too) then test the ntfs drive with btfrs.

I shall give this a shot!

EDIT: Sadly no dice they still run terribly.

Damn. Well this train will chug along then ;-;

EDIT: just tested and it seems performance just gets worse the longer I play.

EDIT 2: I lied it actually is betyer with another non steam game after playing for a while and restarting.

I am using proton to run them.

I moved the game to my ext4 partition and still the same terrible performance. I just booted them on windows and My assesment was wrong. I am actually getting around 100 fps (windows) and 60fps and below (linux).

I will be updating the post to reflect it accordingly.

does windows support btrfs? I am dualbooting and would like to use the drive between opersting systems.

also i am using proton, does it also not play nice with ntfs?

You my friend are an idiot. I already said this above but what about the people who trusted their medical provider who reccomended this service to them to find a proper diagnosis? They should just get fucked for trusting a professional in the field. We fucking rely on companies to a fault. It’s ass. we could you know blame the company for the shitty actions of collecting this data rather than the average ignorant consumers. That’s like blaming the person who told you your significant other is cheating on you for ruining your marriage, or even blaming yourself. It’s asinine.
