Although it's presented as a windows-only source port, it used to build & run very well on Linux, but since about a year ago I started getting all sorts of problems with sound; so I gave up, and went back to chocolate-doom.
The maintainer/author of that particular port is a through-and-through Windows fan. Won't touch anything else.

I recently picked up a budget knockoff of the Google Cardboard VR, and wow... Honestly, until you try it, it's hard to get excited about it - and the Cardboard VR is a bloody brilliant way to get on board. So I've gone and ordered a Samsung Gear VR to tide me over until I'm allowed to purchase a Vive.

Y'all should get a Google Cardboard and have a play.
