    I would use Linux more if:

    1: I could host my desktop with Parsec (client support exists, but not host support).

    2: Sunshine/Moonlight actually worked, as an alternative. It is broken and janky and isn’t a substitute. I’ve tried. A lot.

    3: I could wirelessly link my Quest 2. VR support is a hot mess and I’m still waiting for a solution to wirelessly link my Quest 2 in linux that actually works and doesn’t require a month of programming a solution myself.

    4: Better compatibility with some stuff. Proton gaming works most of the time, but not for the titles I play.

      I started using linux by setting up a dual boot: using windows only for things I couldn’t do at the time on linux. That were gaming and some apps only supported by windows After usig it for some time I now have everything on linux (or an alternative) and uninstalled windows. Still in the process of figuring out some very specific stuff like you with your Quest, but someday I just couldn’t have it with windows anymore.

      There are a lot of ressources online and some distros are really great for gamers/ newcomers. Just give it a try and some time. You will have to learn some things like you had to with first using windows.
