So, Ive been testing Brave and Vivaldi and both seem usable and fast, but I read where Brave is more open source.

Are either of these better than the other? are there better options out there?

Crazy, I tried Steam Link yesterday and today and still getting the Steam VR - Error 499 (Video Encoder) issue on Arch (EOS) and Fedora 43 - two separate AMD systems.

ALVR continues to work without issue.

Its funny because a couple beta versions ago it was working perfectly with Steam Link :(.

Oh HELL yeah! ALVR is pretty good too though, but would be nice to have native support from Steam :).

I used to live right behind them in Oakhurst Ca. on Victoria Ln with an old girlfriend that used to work there stuffing boxes with game disks and instructions LOL... I havent heard from her in years, but found out that her dad still had a closet full of those old games still in their original package LOL.

Proly worth allot of money these days :).

Does anyone have their Valve Index even working in Linux these days? I cant get it to run anything. Used to work - I played completely though Alyx on Linux a couple of times, but then gave it up for a couple months last year and just started to get back into it and nothing works.

I can install it... set up the room... but after I install ANY game and click play in my headset, it just goes right back to the play button. Nothing in /tmp for dumps, just doesnt work. I even tried the Proton version... Same!

I get errors trying to load the room.. All I can see is the wireframe "Room" and thats it LOL.

Its $9 on steam right now, so I payed "Again" for it to see if I can get it to work. What version of Proton does it work on best? Can we use GE-Proton for it?

Im installing it now, just wanted to get some ideas...

I have this through Ubisoft on Lutris... Would it work there as well?

It might... I have BattleEye and Easy anti-cheat enabled in the configuration for the app.

Going to try it out now :)

Nope.. Doesnt work on Lutris :(

Ive been using and supporting Linux personally and professionally for over 20 years so consider myself an expert in the OS for the most part. I constantly use "Harder" distros, because I can fix the issues that usually come up.

BUT - its my day to day job, so when I get home and want to play a game, I dont want to fix shit. I want to play! So, I have to agree - Ubuntu and its off-shots seem to be the most solid choice as they are the most visible and get the most support.

Case in point - my Valve Index runs WITHOUT issue on Ubuntu and its spins... But I have nothing but issues on Arch and its spins... So, when I want hassle free playing (More or less), I go with Pop_OS. Ubuntu is fine, but I just like System 76, so use that.

Anyway, my 2 cents - hope you dont want a refund :-D.

How do you get it to run? I installed in my Arch install and all 3 versions immediately fail and bring be back to the Play button... Dont see any logs either.
