I used SteamVR with ALVR here on Bazzite linux but WiVRn with the latest XR-izer (edit: literally the most recent commit) finally plays the core set of games I like to play right now and it has passthrough capability by default so I can have my WayVR windows floating in real space. PLUS, almost biggest deal, is it runs like a dream. I maxed out my settings, resolution and FPS and MSFS2024 looks and feels GORGEOUS.

(I know all those things might sound made up but they're not lol)

One tip if on Fedora/Arch or similar is to install via the package manager for now because right now the flatpak has an outdated Mesa version included that causes graphical issues.

TIL: Depending if you are Playing Half-Life Alyx under linux with the native runtime or with proton, the savegame folder is
`%GAMEDATA%/game/hlvr/save` or `%GAMEDATA%/game/hlvr/SAVE`.
Which can lead to the situation, that the game thinks, you have no savegames at all (because case sensitive filesystem).

Okay, #ALVR is now working without compression artefacts. But the FPS could be better. Seems like I have to optimize more with the tons of settings.
And I have to figure out how to get BS Manager / #beatsaber running over ALVR and WiFi.

#VR on #linux is a nightmare. #alvr is nearly smooth, but image quality is really bad. #envision with #winvrn has great image quality, but only 40 FPS in #elitedangerous

anyone know why the heck this is happening to me in ALVR?

@anthropy Could be good for #ValveIndex, but my experience with #Fedora, #Quest3S and #ALVR is baaaad. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I couldn't replicate even the performance of the original Meta app on #Windows (quite bad), let alone #VirtualDesktop (excellent), all on the same connection.

If you play #VR games on #Linux and use #ALVR for streaming, throw it away and use #WiVRN instead. It's just better. Ten thousand times better. #VideoGames

I tried SkyrimVR the first time since I left Windows behind, and whoa, I'm impressed! 🤩 Configuring it with the open sourcce ALVR launcher was more straightforward than with Meta's own app. The connection feels more error-proof too.

Man #PCVR on Linux via a #Quest is so close to being a good experience for #VRChat, it's kinda frustrating. On the PC, #ALVR needs a LOT of tweaks from the default settings for good visual quality, but it does actually start looking pretty nice once you boost the encoder bitrate and resolution. Frustratingly, you have to take the headset off to adjust those settings, as ALVR doesn't have a way to adjust that from the software on the Quest and SteamVR's desktop passthru on Linux is flaky at best. Tracking quality varies widely too, frustratingly... Sometimes it's perfect, but other times it starts stuttering - and in the worst case scenario it gets hypersensitive and jittery, often in VRChat worlds with mirrors or other reflective surfaces.

Idk if I need to keep tweaking on it, or just give up and boot Windows for the first time in forever.
