Looking to upgrade your Steam Deck? How about some fancy metal buttons

Are people actually willing to add 10-15% to the price of their Deck just for some fancy buttons? Madness.

Quoting: NathanaelKStottlemyerMight be the wrong place to ask, but I want to play Half Life Alyx as intended. Is there a VR system that works well with Linux that perhaps is a bit less than the $1k price tag of the Valve index?

Used HTC Vive off ebay.
You won't get the full finger tracking of the Index but apart from that it'll work.

Quoting: EikeWho tries it before I buys it? ;)

I bought it, the Linux version is an AppImage and it works perfectly. Purchase goes through the Humble Store which is convenient.

The game itself feels very familiar, in a good way, same gameplay but there are some interesting new species of Goo. It feels more difficult than I remember the first one being but levels are skippable if you just want to push ahead.

SteamVR 2.0 Beta released with a big UI overhaul
26 September 2023 at 11:11 pm UTC

It's strange, I've had to opt out of the Steam Client beta to get the SteamVR beta to run at all.
Now SteamVR Home doesn't launch because it's "unable to load libpangoft2-1.0.so".
