Same, I've got a headset on WMR and it's basically trash if I have to update to Win 11.

you guys might be interested in this, then:

Oasis is a Windows 11 driver for SteamVR for VR headsets of the Windows Mixed Reality family, such as the HP Reverb, Samsung Odyssey, Lenovo Explorer, or Dell Visor. This driver does not require the Mixed Reality Portal application and is therefore compatible with the latest versions of Windows 11 (24H2 and future).

Wow! I was figuring someone would make this eventually. I'd still prefer to go to Linux but this might be the easiest option. Thanks.

Chiming in to say oasis not only made my WMR kit work without Mixed Reality Portal Garbage, but it’s more responsive and tracks better with it. It’s incredible. I’m on 10 LTSC IoT which Oasis’s doesn’t technically support and it works flawlessly. Amazing.

I love you, Oasis dev.
