Thanks for the detailed reply. VR isn't a deal-breaker for me currently but your last paragraph is great, most of the videos I've watched have echoed that sentiment of "It works great... Most of the time"
I do want to give Linux a try when I have some time over for trouble shooting and fixing. I feel like a Mac person when I say that lol, "I just want it to work"
That'd be neat, I'll Google to see if someone has tried it. Otherwise I'll just wait till it comes to steam, which I hope it will eventually
