Valve Index, SteamVR, install, setup, play, no tinkering.
Now… if one does want to buy hardware from Meta (… which sadly I understand, it’s so damn cheap) and Meta refuses to support Linux, well, it’s kind of a decision on the buyer. Still, if one still want to tinker, because they have the hardware now, plenty of good solutions listed on https://lvra.gitlab.io e.g. ALVR (very convenient nowadays) or WiVRn and more.
Many can’t buy indexes as you said. I love the idea of them, but they’re just too damn expensive. On amazon (we have no official shipping in my country) they cost 10,000 RIYALS. That’s about ~3-4000 USD. No thanks, i’d do fine without VR then. and the mq 3 is about 3,000 riyals, or less than 1,000 dollars.
ALVR is pretty okish. Last time i tried it it was very buggy. But that was a long time ago, i don’t know how it is now. Last time i checked i couldn’t use wivrn, but i’ll try it now, thanks

I refuse to buy any meta product, let alone use their platforms. If I get back into VR it’ll likely be Valve products
Thank you for the resource!
