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.

I have a HTC Vice pro that I've been using with arch for about a year now. I have occasional issues with some vr ported games jut every native vr game I've tried runs great.

No problems with the built in headphones? I can't get them to sound right... there seems to be some sort of samplerate shift as soon as I start SteamVR with my HTC Vive Pro.

I've had problems with the headphones on one or two games, but I used proton tricks to install xact_64 and its solved them for the most part.

Hmm, that doesn't sound like my issue. As soon as I turn on SteamVR the sound goes haywire. I can still use other headphones fine without any issue, but the built in ones have distorted sound with SteamVR running (but not when I turn that off).
