It is time! I finally have a Valve Index with thanks to supporter Scaine and it has genuinely blown a few braincells away with just how incredible an experience it actually is.
I’m glad VR on Linux has gotten to a point where it’s a great experience. I still can’t justify the US$900 (used) when that’s more than my whole gaming system cost. I would likely get more pleasure from buying/upgrading a game system for a friend to play with.
Used HTC Vive are significantly cheaper and still very good. The main problem is the GPU prices right now, but if you have something somewhat older like a Geforce 1080 or a Radeon 480/580 you are good to go even with a higher resolution headset like the Index or Vive Pro.
