If you have a wireless VR headset and a Linux system, you might be excited to know that Valve's Steam Link VR now appears to actually work.

    Been waiting for this!

    Virtual Desktop is one of the few reasons I keep windows around on my home PC. ALVR on linux just hasn’t been as stable, looking forward to trying this out.

          I use WiVR and works great! I don’t have many VR games honestly but all the ones I’ve played have worked.

          There’s also this website: https://db.vronlinux.org/ where you can have an idea though is not always accurate.

          Well, I haven’t actually used it myself since I run a wired headset, but I have heard good things about it, and I’ve had a better experience with Monado than SteamVR, and Wivrn is based on Monado. I think it’s worth checking out: https://lvra.gitlab.io/docs/fossvr/wivrn/

    Sweet! I’m using ALVR, but options are more than welcome.

    Interesting development…steam frame related change?

      Possibly, but hard to say. If my guess is right and the Deckard is a split unit with a home console like base station and a lightweight headset mainly for streaming then probably yes.

        It will probably run steam OS (Linux)…so that’s why I was thinking that.
