Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can't fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.

Yup. I've had massive driver issues with lengthy troubleshooting on both Linux and Windows before. Even had to switch to a completely different distribution once, because it wouldn't play nice with my GPU.

If you pretend like everything always works seamlessly with Linux, you're bound to give people false expectations that will very likely be disappointed.
