My observations:

Existing companies do tend to (but not always) stick with their legacy stack. It makes sense, it's the safe option.

Start ups OTOH, have the freedom to choose a new and innovative stack and often do. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The ones that survive and thrive will likely be dated in another decade and be seen as the old guard with legacy stacks.

It's the circle of life.

Agreed.

I also would like to add that a lot of old tech is reliable and limitations are well known and accounted for. New tech has inherent technical risk, you don't always know what you are getting and behaviour can be unpredictable.

Thank you so much for sharing.

That is a really good point. Is it really worth getting pcvr to work if the performance is bad? Maybe it's worth waiting until it has better support (or until someone smarter than me gets fed up and just builds something & puts it on Git!).

PCVR on Nobara KDE? (aussie.zone)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by MaryTzu@aussie.zone to c/linux@lemmy.ml
 

I am mulling over this as my project for the long weekend.

Currently my SteamVR won't talk to ALVR. But I do have ALVR on my Quest 3. I am thinking that if I can just get SteamVR to talk to ALVR, I'll be set.

I really want to get it working. I really want to get SkyrimVR as well with some good mods. Half Life Alyx is too scary for me :(. I hate having to boot up Win10 to play VR. Knowing there's a bajillion daemons running around and sucking up my data, giving it to Microsoft only to regurgitate it to force feed me ads, makes me sick.

Anyway, my question is... Am I insane? Has anyone actually managed to get PCVR working on linux or is it a completely unfeasible project that I should drop now before I wind up with PTSD?

Thank you in advance!
