(The "Windows" slices of the pies are entirely made up by Baldur's Gate 3, which also runs well over Linux)

For me, I have been dual booting, but I have also had my linux set up for a few months now and was using it exclusively until i got my quest 3.

I can definitely see the allure of just sticking to windows if one plays pcvr exclusively or if one just hasn't taken the plunge into linux yet.

I really do hope that support comes. Either officially or unofficially by a linux savant who knows this stuff.

Yup. One by one the papercuts are getting resolved, so hopefully it's just a matter of time before VR support gets better. Ideally Valve gets interested again and makes another push for Linux VR (maybe some tie-in with the Deck?), otherwise we may be waiting a while.
