While the Linux support of ALVR is still quite rough due to various issues with SteamVR, ALVR is a very promising way to stream VR games to your headset via Wi-Fi and a new release is out now with v20.9.1.
Like Steam VR but an alternative. I actually got it to let me play VR from my Steam Deck to my Quest 2 over WiFi because Steam VR doesn’t even let you try.
You need ALVR installed as both an app on the computer and the Quest headset for it to work, similarly to how Steam VR works on the Quest headset too.
If anyone wants to know, Half Life Alyx was the game I played from my Steam Deck and it was on the lowest settings and was still very laggy. But it was still cool to try, nonetheless. I might try it again because I would like to play non-VR games through my headset through it as a way of having a different monitor. Something like using the Steam Deck as a controller for a game like Halo but viewing the screen through my headset so I can move around freely and adjust the picture size digitally.
Uhhhhh what’s ALVR
