I want to get started with VR gaming in Linux and am looking at a headset. What are you guys using? Oculus 3 seems to be popular but I assume there are some caveats.

Yeah, Occulus and Linux are not the best friends. There are some work arounds to make it somewhat work with SteamVR, but don't expect too much.

My recommendation would be to look for a second hand Valve Index or HTC Vive if using it on Linux is your priority.

Or wait for the rumored new standalone headset from Valve, but that will probably not happen before end of 2025 if at all.
