Only thing I've found to really not work is head tracking. That's pretty niche though and I'm expecting someone to figure that out eventually. Almost every game ran no problem.

Like VR you mean? lol my next build is when I want to finally get into VR and try all the games I haven't been able to play yet :(

No, not VR. Headtracking. The head is tracked with something like a webcam to move the camera.

Wouldn't you look away from the screen?

Anecdotally; I am running Manjaro, with a valve index, and other than a few need-to-disconnect-and-reconnect my HMD, it's been solid and painless.

https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack Used this years ago in Elite without issues.

Yep open track works but not the freetrack protocol which communicates with various games through it.

Might not be called freetrack. Was a month since I used it, and honestly I don't pay much attention to the names of stuff. But either way it isn't supported on Linux.

I fucked around with OpenTrack for days but came to no solution other than reverting to windows.

edit: yes, it's freetrack. When freetrack works I'm instantly leaving.
