Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.
On my specific setup (5700x3d, 5700xt) with the Vive gen 1 I can’t get it to run VR nicely. There is huge performance hitches compared to Windows. Only VR is like this most my non VR games see performance gains across the board.
Also, steamvr takes prohibitively long to load and frequently crashes. Half-Life, Alyx can’t get past a certain point in the game on Linux but runs past just fine on Windows. This feels like just a Linux driver issue. I’ve tried several distributions with the same problems.
