The latest stable release of SteamVR is out now! SteamVR 2.14 is a maintenance release focused on fixing up bugs and nuisance issues. Nice to see the Linux fix make it in here, as no doubt that was quite annoying.

Mainly, this is promoting the previous Beta build to stable for all SteamVR users. No doubt plenty more ongoing behind the scenes so that SteamVR is ready for the upcoming Steam Frame device from Valve. I am very excited to get my hands on it eventually to cut the cord with VR but the Valve Index has served me well until now.

As crappy as Google Cardboard was, it was pretty dope playing Elite: Dangerous on it before other commercial VR headsets were around, even being a blurry mess where the text was illegible.

honestly looking forward to how good the Frame will work streaming Elite from Linux

From what I have been reading, I kinda expect the same as using a Quest 3 with Virtual Desktop, but perhaps with less lag or hiccups and almost assuredly better fidelity because it might not have to reduce quality for bandwidth. The dedicated wireless hardware is gonna be nice.
