Anyone know if its possible to run VR on Linux with a CV1 Rift
I mainly use a CV1 Rift for my VR Headset since its still a really good VR Headset but the issue with it is that it requires Meta's software and that's windows only.
If anyone has any ways I can use it on Linux then I'd be happy to try them out.

I've got a Meta Quest 3 which also "requires" Meta's software but had success with ALVR : https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR

The difference is mines a wired headset
So it cant do wifi streaming

ALVR wired setup (ALVR over USB)
Stream VR games from your PC to your headset via Wi-Fi - alvr-org/ALVR
Thats still for stand alone headsets
So it wont work since it uses stand alone headset stuff

checking back, were you able to slap it together and get it working? i'm just curious
Nah sadly not
I just have to use my windows dualboot
dang
i found another project recently that you might have more luck with that uses osvr with open-HMD instead: https://github.com/mbilker/OSVR-OpenHMD?tab=readme-ov-file
