Awesome! Glad you were able to get everything working! It'll probably still be frustrating somtimes, but I hope you enjoy it!

https://lvra.gitlab.io/ is a good start.

Some stuff you'll have to mess around with.

I've found that some random issues like unexpected frame stutter or VR headset not being detected need a full power off of everything to fix sometimes. (Power off / disconnected. Reboots don't work)

Stuttering is present in SteamVR due to lack of async reprojection. Thats why I'm using Envision which is an interface for a stack of a bunch of different open source VR stuff.

It's quite a bit more finicky and fragile, but it at least has reprojection.

I've switched to using it as my daily driver, and depending on what applications you use, the water is either fine, or is full of piranhas.

Using VR, for example, is still a massive pain in the ass, and requires me to boot into windows when the tenuous stack of software driving it on linux decides to stop working because it's a full moon out.

Touch anything the wrong way, and you're digging through random config or build files to fix it.

Good news! Everywhere is becoming a vulnerable area, so there won't be anywhere that fits your criteria :D

Entire west coast is fire and earthquake prone.

Entire east coast is flood/hurricane prone (as shown by hurricane Helene absolutely destroying asheville, which is in the mountians

Central US keeps getting extreme weather / tornadoes.

Shit's on fire, yo.

In my brief testing, I found this to be the case as well. ALVR was constantly having a bad time (stutter, frame drops, audio drops), and the lack of reprojection in SteamVR was miserable.

WiVRn (through Envision) was a bit jank, but worked much better.
