      Actually steam games work well. It’s non steam games and ones with kernel level anti cheat.

        Interesting. What about Epic? (I don’t like them but free games are free games and I have a lot)

          Epic generally works fine through Heroic launcher. Though I’ve had some occasional problems with Heroic and in those cases Lutris running the Windows Epic Game Store Launcher solved every time. Steam and Proton are still the easiest plug n play though.

          Steam deck is proton using Linux. I have hundreds of games across epic, gog, and steam. They all work just fine except for online games with certain anti cheat shit like what fortnite or gtaV use.

      I palayed half life Alex on the Vive when it came out on popos. That said I tried to play it again about 18month later and it was broken; would launch but not load properly. Beat saber has worked for me very consistently, mods are hard to get going but it’s possible.

        I’m using an outdated Samsung headset with the windows mixed reality portal. It’s UI is so far superior to Oculus I have I may repair it for another decade rather than upgrade.

          Yeah, I have not really been liking the direction a lot if headset manufactures are going. I am never going to give meta money if I have a choice.

            They’re legally strong-arming their way into dominating vr and enshitifying it for profit. The future of VR technology that is actually good is not Anerican.
