Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

I got a quest 3 so my options on how to run it are limited to begin with, and I don't know how native VR devices run on Linux. But i hope general support will improve with valves next VR headset since it will run Linux natively.

I have a Reverb G2 and while I did get it to run (somewhat), not all games run with it and the Windows driver works much better (motion-smoothing, room tracking etc.)

VR support still seems to be pretty rough in general. But I got it to run through Envision, which does the annoying Monado setup (mostly) automatically for you.

Fingers crossed, that's what I'm hoping for as well. I'm using a valve index so I really expected Steam VR to work out of the box, but hopefully the new headset will work at least.
