Understandable tbh, though since the 90s there had been actual progress, if slow. I think it will probably remain a fairly niche thing and not for everyone, but it does provide a unique experience in my opinion.

I have an oculus quest 2 (technically meta now but fuck that) that I still use occasionally, and even though it’s a bit old now it’s still decent. And actual modern headsets are much better, and the steam frame should be about on par or a little better than the quest 3, but not made by meta, running Linux, and with steam library integration. There are better spec ones out there, but it gets expensive quick.

Tbf its a pretty recent thing, was only announced in November, and I’ve really only seen coverage of it in places that regularly talk about VR. As someone interested in VR though I am quite excited for it.

Even still, I think it is good that it at least introduces people to Linux, and shows that it is a viable gaming platform which is what a lot of people care about. Plus, it is a reason for game devs to make their games Linux compatible, and will make a cycle of Linux having a road to being mainstream. This isn’t the end all be all, but a very solid push in the direction of mainstream Linux.

Gotta say, it was quite a good video. I think I watched either most of all of it over the course of a few days to a week a while ago.
