It doesn't work on Linux? :( That sucks.

Edit: Wait... Immersed is available for Linux. For someone who doesn't know what all the requirements are for a VR desktop environment, can anyone list them? Assume I'm thinking about buying the Oculus 2 and want to use it with Linux + Immersed.

SteamVR works fine on Linux, but the only wired/lighthouse headset that works well is the Index. Most wired headsets, especially consumer ones, don't bother, so you'll have a hard time with really anything but the Index. As for Quest on Linux, the closest you'll get is with ALVR, which only has experimental builds for Linux. Sadly, it has 2-3x the latency of VD and poor NVIDIA support. I follow their development very closely, though, and it's certainly getting better.
Thanks!
