I haven't tried SteamVR on Linux, but suspect that using it without a VR setup would be about as useful and enjoyable as browsing YouTube with a text-only web browser.
There's some offers on FB marketplace selling pretty complete and good condition HTC Vive VR systems around $350. Although with their age the controllers likely need a battery replacement, which involves detailed disassembly.
Has anyone any knowledge of running SteamVR games on Linux? I've read
some stuff on Steam itself that says you can't run VR games on Steamdeck
or Linux. But I've found some other sites saying you can, though maybe in
a beta mode.
So who's right?
Half Life "3" (Alyx) is out (and on sale right now!) but I really only
have a Linux game-capable rig now.
Also does SteamVR mean you *must* have VR gear to play? Or can you play
it on a normal monitor setup?
