VR Experiences With Oculus Headsets On Linux? (lemmy.ml)

Hey,

I was wondering if there is a way to run Oculus VR Games natively in Linux? I have an Oculus Quest 2 and Oculus Rift CV1 Headset and an dedicated Windows 11 Laptop just for VR Gaming. But i want to ditch it for my Main Linux Gaming Machine. So is there a way to achieve this?

I know there is OpenVR and SteamVR which runs on Linux. But does it work for Oculus Headsets too? And if not, what are the alternatives (Except buying Valve Index Or HTC Vive)?

I've been struggling trying to get ALVR working on POP_OS 22.04 with a quest 2 and a 3080 for about 12 hours now over the course of a few days. Still getting various errors and it essentially just disconnects and reconnects constantly. I did get it working momentarily (into the steamvr home) using the linux beta of steamvr but it was bugged out anyways and I have been unable to replicate it since.
