I can’t get past the train in alyx after getting the gun, I crash on the loading screen. I tried both bazzite and cachOS with the same result. Getting it to even run is always a hassle too and feels like it comes down to luck if it runs or not. Multiple components seem to fail at random either it doesn’t launch or the headset stays black, or I can’t get the game to run and stay in the cloudy sky or the room scale messes up and I’m half stuck in the floor. The whole experience is awful even though I really want to enjoy VR. I got myself a really beefy pc with a 9800x3d and a 7900xtx so I hoped not having to struggle with nvidia drivers would make things easier but I’m at a loss what to even try anymore or if its worth it.

I had a laptop where the HDMI/dvi slots ran off the CPU instead of the GPU. Maybe worth to investigate?

external monitor or internal?

I get your frustration with recent mozilla actions, but I don’t think this one deserves it. For one your point seems like whataboutism. Secondly If you heard about Cambridge analytica it should be clear how much those algorithms shape our lives. It would be good to know for me if those algorithms are really just boring algorithms or if they are shaped by some political or company agenda.
