The judge should have made the damages $4M in Steam game discounts instead! Would have been worth more ;)

Metro Exodus here... I have also been playing through HL Alyx on Linux. Both games run great and very immersive! Welp... Back to it :-D

Quoting: KohlyKohlThey should just switch to KDE and provide their own theme...

I was thinking the same thing!

After hearing about Metro Exodus being released for Linux, Ive decided to stop playing the proton version until it comes out HAH... Instead, Im going through the first game again, then will go through Last Light :-D.

On the multiplayer side, playing Dying Light with a friend - zombie bashing time !!! YAY :-D.

I also have a spattering of WoW-Mania, DOD, CS:GO, etc...

Have a super great weekend all!

Oh man, I JUST bought this for Proton because I didnt know when it was going to be released :-/... I hope I can still play it on Linux or if I have to re purchase it... Bummer... I guess I need more patience :-D

Quoting: LanzIs VR still a major pain to get running on Linux?

Honestly, no... I just reinstalled and all I do is install Steam, SteamVR, Alyx, and pay. Im on Manjaro, so I can only speculate that its just as easy on other distros.

Quoting: PatolaI went through the same attempts you made, had an AMD rig and bought the Valve Index, and I strongly disagree with you, my experience on Ubuntu 20.04 was almost completely seamless out of the box, only thing I had to change is the order of DP connections on my GPU otherwise the PC would not boot. Thing is, you are not using the mainstream distro (Ubuntu), although you are using a derivative of one, so you are not telling the testimony of "how poor Valve Index works out of the box on Linux" but instead "how poor Valve Index works out of the box on Linux Mint". I, for one, don't think Valve should be spending money on testing all linux distros (and this it not even self-interest because I'm moving to Arch from Ubuntu). Also, you are using a backlevel Linux Mint (latest is 20), and since latest drivers and software is currently crucial to the linux gaming experience, you would have a poorer experience anyway (and this specially important to the GPU you have, Mint 19.3's default drivers can even make your GPU have a hardware fault and burn for good -- hope you at least use a newer kernel, 5.7+).

When I ran SteamVR for the first time, it worked out of the box. Also, it seems earlier versions of SteamVR had a bug where they would not switch the default sink to the VR but in the latest SteamVR beta, it works every time (and I have an indicator app to ease switching sinks anyway, due to the many audio devices I have).

I have some VR titles to recommend to you if you want, just tell me your favorite genres.

And last but not least, change to the "SteamVR beta" branch, not linux_temp. SteamVR beta works great, although it had a bug in Fallout 4 VR where it would not show the in-game virtual keyboard (don't know if this bug is still there).

Ah! And from your games: Overload works perfectly here in VR with Proton-5.0-9. Most "VR-supported" games work this way, they only have a VR build for Windows.

I wonder if anyone has used it with Pop_OS... Im on Manjaro now, but if I dont have to fiddle with configuration on a close Ubuntu clone to get it working well after spending close to $1000, why bother with anything else :-D.
