I was exploring a fresh start with Linux gaming, especially proton. I'm uncertain about using Oculus headsets on Linux. Since my last Linux gaming session didn't include a VR headset, I'm wondering if it would work. Can SteamVR games run on Linux with an Oculus Rift? Is it possible to launch the Oculus app via tools like Lutris, and could I access Oculus Store exclusives? Or is there a third-party driver that functions poorly, making the experience frustrating? I'm eager to give Linux another shot.
