I’m looking to getting back into VR gaming. However, with my switch to Linux, that has made things a little more complicated. I don’t own a Valve Index (although I’ve heard that there are some issues with the Index on Linux), I own a Rift CV1. As far as I’m aware, the Oculus Rift is pretty much completely incompatible with Linux. I do also own both Beat Saber and SUPERHOT VR on the Oculus Store (poor choice of platform, I know).
So, unless there’s something I’ve overlooked, my options are as follows:
- Sell my Rift and stop playing VR games (weird option to choose but it’s an option).
- Sell my Rift and save up to buy a Valve Index (despite its issues)
- Sell my Rift and save up to get a Quest 2 (or 3 when that comes out, although that plays into Metz’s pockets).
- Keep my Rift and do tiny experiments with it (again, weird choice given the title of the post, but it’s an option)
Does anyone have any advice for me here?
I have a rift and a vive sitting in the closest. It’s been the best choice I’ve made. They’ll be cool little gimmick devices in 20 years when my kids find them and go ha you used to think this was the future of gaming? No, not really but it got me a job for 3 years.
I mean I do like VR gaming and I enjoy playing Beat Saber and the other VR games I’ve got, I’m just unsure of how to make them work atm
