[chimerax-users] Re: VR on ubuntu workstation

I ran into the exact same issue on Ubuntu with a Rift S — SteamVR installs fine, but without the Oculus PC app (Windows-only) there’s basically no way to get the headset recognized properly on Linux. I went down the same rabbit hole with SteamLink and older threads, and unfortunately it still doesn’t seem to be supported on Linux. In the end, the only reliable solution for me was to set up a small Windows partition just for VR. Once I moved ChimeraX VR to Windows with the Oculus app + SteamVR, everything worked much more smoothly. It saved me a lot of frustration. If VR is important for your workflow, I’d strongly recommend Windows (even dual boot) rather than trying to force it on Linux. Hope that helps!
