YellowKey reportedly works in Windows 11, Windows Server 2022 and 2025, but not in Windows 10.

Well that's even better! I had issues trying to do it, but that was a few years ago. Thanks for the input, any tips on making this work, or is it easy enough? What is the headset?

    Quest 3 (until the Frame comes out and I can get the fuck out of Meta's garbage).

    There's a Linux VR Discord that's super helpful of you're in that ecosystem, but basically look into WiVRn and ALVR projects, install, and play with configs. It's easier to do than it looks but depends on your distro, video card etc.

    On my system both ALVR then WiVRn installs were as simple as installing the packages and running them. Some games complained with WiVRn but all I had to do was add a string to the launch options in Steam that was provided by the launcher for just such a case.

    Linux VR has come a long way for sure! Feel free to hit me up if you have more questions, or hell I'm happy to help in VR Chat/Resonite too if you just wanna chat about the tech lol, I'm one of the weirdos that still thinks this stuff is cool even if it's never going to be mainstream the way corps keep trying to monitize it.

    Edit: links help 🙄 https://discord.gg/QxrS6dcaa

    Thanks! I am away from home for about two more weeks, but I am going to give it a try. I like buying the humble vr bundles just to play with them, and any sort of motion game for fun/keeping active on rainy days.

    I have a quest 1 and 2, but I havent used either in a while. Both were given to me, so I can't complain. Half Life Alyx was a fantastic game, and really showed me how good it could be.

    I am right there with you: as soon as I can get a frame I am moving on to it.

    The Quest 2 should work fine for all of this. I got started down this path after rebuilding my sister's that had caught fire and melted 😆

    Lol, no idea. She mentioned hers was melted and wouldn't charge and asked if I wanted it while I was on that side of the country. The plastic around the USB charging port was completely melted/burned. Luckily the port itself is mounted on its own daughterboard and I just build/wired up a new one.

    Ended up with a Quest 3 shortly after experimenting.
