  Ignoring the resolution/clarity upgrade, how does the color vibrancy/contrast compare with the Vive? I’ve been unsure about making a similar upgrade because of the industry switch from OLED to LCD, but given the ten year tech gap I’m hoping the difference isn’t actually that big.

  I don’t know if that’s a definite, vs not being able to stream from a steam machine specifically. You can already stream from linux pcs to other headsets, so I think the limitation is gamemode right now.

  If this does mean WINEDLLOVERRIDES won’t be needed I’ll be very happy, it’s been very fiddly trying to get optiscaler working.

  I’m sure they are, but but I think their effort is targeted at standalone headsets and won’t translate much to wired headsets.

  Wireless headsets do have fewer issues on Linux, from what I’ve read. A lot of the stuff I’m missing like passthrough and boundaries are probably handled by the headset instead of the pc.

  In my experience steamvr works but is unstable and has really bad performance compared to windows. (Constant stuttering even in lighter games like pistol whip) Motion smoothing doesn’t work and it feels like there’s some input delay which is not acceptable for vr.

  I’ve switched over to monado via envision, which loses the steamvr overlay and is very unpolished. (no camera passthrough and no boundary display, though both seem in development) Games play correctly with reasonable performance, which is what matters.

  I wouldn’t recommend linux vr in general right now, if a friend wanted to try my headset I’d probably boot my windows partition. (Original htc vive with a 9070xt, so no excuse for steamvr’s linux performance)

  Having a great time with the Banjo-Kazooie recomp. Cleared everything up to Click Clock Wood so far.
