minus-squareenkerslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-25 hours agoI really want to put Linux on my gaming PC, but I’m doubtful I can get my Rift S working on there. :/ Apparently there is an openxr driver for it, though, so I suppose I should at least give it a shot. There’s absolutely no way I’m going to win11, though.
minus-squareDrDystopia@lemy.lollinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 minutes agoAs someone who routinely used to sink thousands of hours into games, and by that I mean 3000 hrs. on R6-3, 2500 hrs. on Squad and so on, the predatory practices of Microsoft, Steam and game developers have just turned me off gaming completely.

minus-squareenkerslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 hours agoI did read that there were some input issues with the d-pads not working, but that was also 2 years ago so it could’ve been fixed by now. So you’re right, I should! Pretty sure I’ve got an old drive around somewhere that I could toss it on.
minus-squarezenpocalypse@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·3 hours agoNobara or Pop! OS would be good choices. Yeah, VR is still catching up, but I feel like (dual) booting to Win 10 just for specific purposes would greatly reduce the risk.
