I have 9000 hours in steamVR... on linux. I can never go back to 2D tbh.

This headset looks like it finally brings the full experience and more out of the dev only space.

Okay I need details. What distro and headset? What are you using it for?

I've been playing with an Index on Gentoo but it's been a buggy mess and I really just wanna use it for VRChat without having to boot into Windows.

    PSVR, Mostly X-Plane 11 now 12. Originally CentOS now Fedora.

    Also watch pretty much all my movies on it and various incoming dev demonstrations.

    X-Plane is looking like a "killer app" for this (already mac, linux and windows native, most of the devs are on mac)

What is your setup? Is this for a virtual desktop or are you gaming?

The only reason I keep a Windows partition around is to boot into VR, and I would love to nuke it forever. But I just haven't been able to get happy with VR on Linux yet.

    PSVR, not high enough resolution for a virtual desktop, but the headset is comfy enough to burn many hours of the day in flight sim (X-Plane) and watching movies, little escapes that keep me mostly sane.

    I was only griping the other week that its a disaster that PSVR is still the best value headset for linux (you can pick them up for like $100, none of the current alternatives are worth spending more on) with no upgrade path, PSVR2 hopes were dashed, this apple headset looks like I'll be moving most VR stuff to mac, I'm already on a macbook air for mobile, not touched windows for like a decade.
