Pop OS 22.04 (Ubuntu) Very playable on both a NVIDIA GTX 970 and GTX 3060.
Steam has been undergoing many changes lately, things may break in the future, try switching between beta and non beta if things dont work, this works for me as of July 13th 2023. I will keep this thread up to date as i use VR on Linux
I tried alvr with my pico4 on my rtx3070 with a dedicated router for vr. The bitrate was horrible and had quite bad latency. I need to try alvr on windows to see if it is a Linux issue. Think i managed to get it down to 80ms latency but it still looked awful. For context I normally use virtual desktop high settings with like 30ms latency.
