I would vote against getting something like a T490 as it has one memory slot soldered onto the motherboard and it has the same processor as the T480 anyways iirc.

Yeah I have an Oculus Rift S and the hardware support is pretty bad and I haven’t really gotten it to work. Obviously a vendor issue, and i don’t see meta open sourcing or releasing any drivers for linux anytime soon.

This is actually pretty huge, props to the GNOME developers for this.

Hopefully VR support will improve on linux, literally the only reason I keep a windows drive around is for vr and nothing more.

It’s definitely a vendor problem rather than an os problem. But it’s still a problem that the biggest manufacturer in the VR space has no support for Linux, hence i find it a bit farfetched to say VR is usable on Linux when the most popular hardware is not being supported by it’s vendor.

Though there are community efforts like Monado that looks pretty promising!
