    It’s not fully supported: https://old.reddit.com/r/ValveIndex/comments/zs8snv/vr_on_linux_makes_me_sad/

    No async reprojection

    No bluetooth support for base stations power management

    Does not work on Wayland, at all (Nobara, KDE)

    Lacks the ability for you to continue using your headset if for some reason it disconnects and reconnects (base stations will not be detected, neither will any bluetooth adapters like the SW7)

    A plethora of bugs

    It feels like my headset view is on a delay? Maybe due to no async reprojection

    I’m quoting this guy because I think that VR straight up doesn’t work on NixOS, and I haven’t gotten to testing my Index on any other os yet.

      To Valve’s credit, since that post they did implement base station power management and some DEs now implement Wayland’s DRM leasing protocol, and there’s a somewhat buggy async reproduction implementation in place (although it’s broken in SteamVR 2.0 onwards).
