Comment on Steam Frame - What games do you want to play on it?
CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 2 weeks ago
Tbh, the only vr games that I’ve actually played have been skyrimvr and vrchat, and a tiny bit of subnautica with mods to improve the vr. I might play around with new ones a bit, but what I mostly want it for is to more conveniently hang out/try game worlds with friends of mine who are on VRC a lot.
My current headset can do it, but since switching over to linux it takes a significant amount of hassle to reboot to windows, probably let it update because I otherwise never use that partition, launch both steamVR and the pico link drivers and connect up all the cables and confirm that it’s all working, just to have to reboot back to linux when I’m done with it.
That’s not enough to spend money on new hardware by itself, but a close friend of mine has been wanting to try VR and hasn’t gotten fed up with windows like I have, so I offered to give him my current headset when something that works with linux more smoothly comes out, which I figure the frame is probably the best bet for.

I dropped Windows years ago, and use VR all the time (Quest 3). Do I do something wrong?

My current headset is a pico neo 3 link, which I use connected to my PC with the displayport cable due to somewhat slow wifi, which I got before deciding to go to linux. Using it that way requires a driver software that, as far as Ive been able to find anyway, only works with windows. I technically could have gotten something like a quest and used some of the linux software that lets you connect to those wirelessly, but I didnt want to go with Meta stuff.
