This has been asked like 5 times before, but are there any plans for linux support? Linux SteamVR is now at a point of almost feature parity with. You can even play Windows VR games through proton.

Please find PCAP and related files attached, with data from connecting both the … Pimax Vision 8kX and Pimax 5k+ .
[Pimax_PCAP_Captures.zip](https://github.com/OpenHMD/OpenHMD/files/5615633/Pimax_PCAP_Captures.zip)
Please consider that the Pimax Vision 8kX has near typical human vision characteristics - 20/20 Snellen test readability, wide FOV, and aftermarket comfort accessibility. Also, the Pimax Vision 8kX uses the same Valve Lighthouse based tracking/controllers widely used by other headsets.
Meanwhile, SteamVR and MSW are such unstable and massive obstructions to software interoperability that more developer time has been spent just getting desktop overlays to work, than would have been necessary to bring OpenHMD support to most VR headsets. Arguably, professional or long-term applications of VR, require multitasking, transparent 2D framebuffer overlays, multi-headset and CAVE outputs, which is at a severe conflict of interest with such commercial proprietary middleware.
I feel it is now as imperative to bring such full VR capability to FOSS, running on Linux, as historically, the Linux kernel and open-source web browsers have proven.
