Yep, steam vr has for most of it's life cycle.
Tried it, and it runs, but everything looks wrong somehow
The VR chat community has a good guide for getting things generally working for vr on Linux what you need is very dependant on your GPU and headset, https://ask.vrchat.com/t/vrchat-on-linux-the-definitive-guide/46949
Thanks, will read that later. The headset is a valve index, and bazzite comes with pre-installed nvidia drivers and steam, so I assumed I wouldn't have to do anything special. And it does work out of the box, as I said, it just works strangely (see my other reply).
I might just have to wait for the steam frame, I guess
Is this before you enter a game? Or only in the game you tested?
If it’s like that in the dashboard, then it might be a distro thing.
The dashboard itself looks like it's tilted away from me (or towards me? don't remember), but only with both eyes open. When I close any one eye, everything looks like it should be fine. It's really strange, I don't understand how that is even possible.
The distro is bazzite, and the headset is the valve index, so I literally just clicked launch in the pre-installed steam
Strange. That seems like it would be a good combination. I have friends who use Linux for VR regularly, and usually the issues described are around software compatibility. Not overall basic functionality.
