VR Experiences With Oculus Headsets On Linux? - eviltoast

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)?

    There are some attempts at OpenHMD and Monado. Unfortunately Oculus headsets like Rift S have their tracking handled by software, so the community have to write code for room tracking as well as controller tracking. As opposed to Quest and I think Vive/Index, where tracking is handled by hardware itself.
