It is exactly what I’ve mentioned

Yes, albeit with Vive Pro. The good: much better motion smoothness and reprojection as opposed to Linux SteamVR

The neutral: Monado is just a runtime, you need to get additional software to it, like WlxOverlay-S for desktop preview

The bad: Most older games utilise OpenVR. Monado is an OpenXR runtime, meaning games have to be translated from one to another. A software for this - OpenComposite, is not feature complete and your game compatibility will be a hit or miss. VRChat works okay, H3VR and No Man’s Sky work but you can’t rebind your controls. Some games don’t work at all, like Boneworks.

Newer games however are running with OpenXR and there your mileage will be much better. Phasmophobia, Bonelab and Pavlov are such games and those work flawlessly

I hope the GripVR controllers will be reasonably priced, finally a middle ground between the Vive wands and Index controllers

Source of that second refresh?

Last time I tried it around 3-4 months ago I still had to use Gamescope as a layer between Proton and Plasma in order to get the colours/brightness right

Updates to SteamVR to fix their Linux-specific bugs, like broken room view, lighthouse power management/firmware update, inconsistent performance and reprojection issues

OpenComposite to have a longer list of working games through it

More polished Wine/Proton Wayland driver

Implementation of Windows Spatial Audio in Wine

Better handling of audio sample rates/allowing adjustment of sample rate per device

Hardware video acceleration in Electron, ex. when screen-sharing on Discord

To my knowledge Librewolf spoofs useragent to Windows by default

EAC on Linux uses special runtime usually provided by Steam and it runs in userspace. However, developers have to whitelist said runtime and that’s where the issue is
