Counterpoint: things like the Valve Index for VR simply don't behave well in this environment no matter how much I've worked on getting it there.

I'm not a novice either, $dayjob has me working on the lowest levels of Linux on a daily basis. I did linux from scratch on a Pentium 2 when I was 12. All that to say yes I happen to agree but edge cases are out there. The blanket statement doesn't apply for all use cases

IMO this is the real blindspot: it's VR support, not Photoshop, or MS Office, or CAD tools (all of which I've got running fine via Wine). I'm guessing the intersection between VR users and Wine users must be really small and I suspect it's because of this that support is so lacking.

And even more worse with the Vive Pro 2 by HTC which needs a special Windows tool to use all it capabilities...

I would have switched over to Linux if it wouldn't be because of that one.
