Too many top linux answers are gone now and i dont really find reddit very usefull for finding answers to linux problems anymore unless its a brand new problem with alot of people suddenly posting about it.

I cant say they won all around. As a tech guy, now when i look up tech info and click on a reddit link 90% of the top answers are deleted(including all mine from the last 12 years).

Before the exidus, Reddit was already a painful hassle to use, unable to view many normal subreddits now, 80% of my screen taken up by login and cookie warnings, forcing logins, asking if you want the app multiple times. Slow, clunky, broken UI.

IF i want to give info to the Reddit people, i only post links to topics over on Lemmy.

As Steam keeps breaking things for Linux(all for their stupid chromium UI overhaul) its been really hard to use VR unfortunatly.

Last resort: Try uninstalling steam and delete all steam related files(except the folder with all you downloaded games), delete all Steam and VR related files in .config and .local. This is as much of a fresh start as you can get and it should work. Use latest ALVR nightly.

Search for Github SpotDL And Navidrome

No need to sail them seas, but maybe still use a vpn, just on case. Fun fact i heard from a friend of a friend: Youtube starts rate limiting after 50,000 audio-only video downloads, until you have a new IP.

  • Run SteamVR once, then close it.
  • The latest working ALVR nightly for me on Ubuntu 22.04 is https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR-nightly/releases/tag/v21.0.0-dev00%2Bnightly.2023.07.11
  • Download the .AppImage.
  • Give executable permissions.
  • Run.
  • Download the latest .apk on your Quest 2(if you have an app installer) or, install to Quest 2 from your PC via ADB or, use SideQuest(built in ADB).
  • Your in! Refer to ALVR documentation for further customization.

If you have trouble setting controller bindings within SteamVR you can point your browser to localhost:27062/dashboard/controllerbinding.html to set your controller settings.

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

Yea ive been thinking of getting a different account for here as ive used sol87 for years, this is a public area so big tech and others can still scrape our data from here for maintaining their "advertiesing" profiles or whatever else they do with our data.

I considered Skype shut down as soon as Microsoft bought it and broke it. I didnt wait around to see what turd they finally reshaped it into.

Actually....doing this is great for security and privacy. Especially for more sensitive logins. Use a password manager.

At the rate things are going old.reddit doesnt have long left

Oh noes not the marijuwanas

Basiclly for supporting certian subreddits that promoted it. Obviously this isnt real proof but reddit at the time did not seem to have a problem with it. Anderson Cooper did a peice on it as well.
