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.

I had no luck trying to make my Quest2 work on Arch. At first games even won't start with SteamVR. Tried different solutions, had to mess around with OpenXR configs, almost made it with ALVR, only to have app on the headset showing that connection is successfully established over the black screen.

Can't wait until Steam implements SteamLink support for Linux. But that's probably on low priority.
