Now that GNOME has DRM leasing support, I've been playing around with VR in Linux again, and, like, I gotta say... ​

It's still a complete dumpster fire ​​ It's been years and I can't believe it hasn't improved whatsoever. It's frustrating how much work Valve is putting into every other part of Linux for the Steam Deck, but SteamVR feels all but abandoned.

Honestly, it kind of feels like Valve dumped the Valve Index out then forgot about it. The most they've put into Steam VR in years was just taking the new Steam Deck big picture mode and plunking it into the VR menu. I think they deserve more criticism for letting Facebook basically take over the VR space, especially with how many games are Quest-exclusive nowadays.

I feel bad complaining because Valve has made gaming on Linux absolutely incredible. Honestly I wouldn't be able to run Linux if it weren't for them. But still. This is the last thing I boot into Windows for. ​ I really want it to work.
