the other options won’t let you continue without performing the actions in a way that windows likes. So for someone trying to set up their PC, only the first option has zero cost.

option two requires an external drive without encryption

option 3 requires setting up a printer from that screen, so you can print the page. it won’t let you continue otherwise.

if you want to back up in some other way, you just don’t (or use PDF conversion from the print dialog)

Might be worth trying WiVRn, which I’ve linked docs for in reply to the other guy :3

Monado + WiVRn is what I use, when using ny quest while traveling. Works reasonably well :)

Might need to swap the compositor between Xrizer (default now) and OpenComposite for some games or functionality.

Welcome to the LVRA Wiki# This is a collection of links, useful resources and guides for the amazing world of VR on Linux. Feel free to contribute to this wiki yourself if you find anything useful that you might want to share with others. Your VR setup all depends on what hardware you have installed/available. Start by reading the hardware page. Keep these things in mind: Generally, for wireless/Android/standalone headsets, you’ll want to use WiVRn. Visit the WiVRn page for installation instructions. Generally, for wired headsets like Index/Vive/WMR/Oculus/Rift, you’ll want to use Envision to build and run the latest Monado. Monado or WiVRn are replacements for SteamVR. Once set up (and complemented with xrizer) you won’t need to launch SteamVR anymore. Install WiVRn directly if you can; it’s a lot easier than building it with Envision, which is only necessary if you need a custom branch (e.g. for SlimeVR support).

In my brief testing, I found this to be the case as well. ALVR was constantly having a bad time (stutter, frame drops, audio drops), and the lack of reprojection in SteamVR was miserable.

WiVRn (through Envision) was a bit jank, but worked much better.

PaperBack exists. It’s branded as a joke, but it is functional!

You’re slightly off here. Elon (and Tesla as an extension) doesn’t like LiDAR, and doesn’t use it in any of the vehicles. Cost, complexity, and sensor fusion issues make it undesirable to them.

Tesla is using a vision only approach for their various driver assistance features, including FSD (and you should be able to find presentations where he mentions that humans use vision, so the cars should too). Whether that is a good thing or not is up to interpretation.

None of the past or current Tesla models have LiDAR sensors - only radar, ultrasonic, and 7/8 cameras (with radar and ultrasonic sensors being absent from some newer vehicles)

They have an Instagram account (but I can’t remember how to get to it, since I don’t have Instagram), but they have more designs on their square site

If by “first game” you mean HL1, you could try playing “Black Mesa” which is a fan remake of the game, in the same engine that powers HL2. It’s not a 1:1 recreation, but it’s close enough (and I feel it improves on some things).

HL2 is also 3 seperate games (HL2, HL2 Episode 1, HL2 Episode 2), so make sure you have all of those in your library.

At the very least, I’d suggest playing HL2/EP1/EP2 before Alyx, since those would provide the expected background for Alyx, despite it technically being a prequel-ish thing.
