Why so many pedantic idiots? Context lost?
It does install correctly for your distro, and that way is full system access .deb file, flatpak is next best from what I read but when I setup my system VR required the .deb as flatpak and snap would not grant correct permissions and I am so far removed from when I used to live on the command line that I have forgotten many many things I used to take for granted. No longer a power user, I just want it to work
Only reason, may be moot now, to use the .deb/.rpm/whatever is for VR as it is a little picky. Same as you I use flatpak for everything else where possible, lutris/bottles/emulators, just remember to also install flatseal to edit permissions (I store some stuff on an external drive, like downloads/videos and VR steam games I’m not playing but will and don’t want to wait an hour or more to get, so had to add the path)
Oh! just remembered that somehow protonGE was installed (lutris or bottles? maybe fixing stuff while drunk) and steam picked it up and now plays videos in UE games, maybe a second reason? I’m wondering how that works but am not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, those teeth are scary.
Using Kubuntu 24.04, streaming VR games live. Setup is a snap (don’t use snap except where Kubuntu already did and even then I switched to flatpak FireFox as snap FF started being… difficult
You don’t appreciate a 50-60% performance drop?
Ahh yes, the “Impact Fix” works everytime til it doesn’t. Had a monitor with a loose wire to the power button. For almost a year a forceful tap in the correct spot would make it work, til one day
Timeshift or equivalent, love my daily backups and very fast restore plus 2 anchor points. Saved me a few times and the gf once so far.
Used it a few times now, so much better than holding the power button.
For users that are not aware: alt+print screen then one at a time with a few seconds inbetween press the keys above, switch the O for a B to reboot instead of shutting down
Linux bootloader on a USB so Windows couldn’t break it.
The windows drive is the first drive, so, I may try that. I am trying to move 100% but I have some software issues that require windows. And what the hell happened to make? 15+ yrs ago I used to build a lot of apps with make, always just ran and worked, now… can’t get em to complete. One day, when I am ready for the abuse, I will ask for help
It broke mine several months back. windows is on a small m.2 500gb, my nix is on a 4tb ssd and the boot loader is there, 2 different drives with their own boot loaders. I even made it so i have to choose the drive to boot from, it still decided to kill it
Sometimes after an update requiring a reboot my Vive will switch the L/R so I hear sounds on the right, but they should be on the left, another reboot (or just restarting the service) fixes it. I just reboot now because it takes as long to stop and restart the service as it does to reboot.
