I tried making the switch fully from Windows earlier this month but the fact that VR wasn’t working well was a big issue that caused me to have to go back to Windows.

I contemplated just having a smaller partition for Windows for VR gaming, but I really want to make the switch fully if possible. I’ll keep Windows on a spare laptop, but that’s it. I want all my main computers to be on Linux.

Are there any distros that work best for this or any tips to share?

I have a Meta Quest 3 that I like using for VR gaming on PC. I’ve been really into Skyrim VR lately and modding in it too. So to find a way to both mod Skyrim VR and play VR would be my goal to accomplish. Wireless VR is not a must but it’s nice. If it has to be one way, whether USB or wireless, that’s fine with me. I’m not strictly needing one way or the other. All of my VR games are in Steam so far, so any tips would be great for this setup.

I tried Bazzite and KDE Neon and both were giving me issues with VR. I had ALVR since Steam VR doesn’t work in Linux natively.

    Running Nobara, the Index is playable but has issues that make it inconvenient. I have issues with not being able to use the built in speakers, and the software is hit and miss and required a lot of playing around a reboot any time it has abissue.

    Game support was shockingly good through Proton if you can get SteamVR running.

    I have no clue for Meta hardware as I would assume Linux wouldn’t be even an afterthought to them.
