Valve Index 2 (codenamed Deckard) Standalone

Its almost like microsoft have shares or some other vested interest in Linux the way that're pushing people towards it these days...

You could always try ALVR or WiVRn

The issue is Meta's apps don't work in Linux unfortunately.

That's true, but Steam games work well and I did have Elite Dangerous working from my Epic library using ALVR. I haven't tested WiVRn much yet but others seem to think it works well. If your PCVR games are all on Meta then you might be SoL unfortunately.

based on : https://www.reddit.com/r/ValveDeckard/comments/1kfbbpo/likely_release_window/
its guestimated November release date. based on sales gap apparently...

I hope Valve keep upping the specs, as this could be an also ran by the time it releases.

the 2026 delay was circulating around a month ago, so its not a big surprise.
kinda good it means i can save some money up. just hope the q3 doesnt drop dead from a random meta update..

I think most of them already have.

Is the Deckard being developed by CIG?

 

[Ravenger]

It's going to be well out of date if it's delayed much more. There are a lot of advanced headsets coming out to compete with.

 

[melmac]

How can something that doesn't exist be delayed?

 

[IT Troll]

Hopefully, they are taking the time to add a Pro model with OLED panels and a DisplayPort connection.

I consider this a benefit to Linux
