That microsoft didn’t enable the necessary software components to run windows mixed reality HMDs on linux?
The reverbs never natively supported any open standards like SteamVR or OpenXR.
WMR headsets are the ones that have been the hardest to get going with open VR systems like Monado, but that doesn’t mean that hardware that implemented sane standards isn’t already working great, which it is.
Bottom line, if you use something that is actually supposed to work, it does. If you don’t, then yeah, the volunteer-created hacks to get things to work are still in progress.
“No, it is for your specific hardware and use case.”

No - that’s a given. It’s that nobody has working third party software for my hardware yet, hence the “VR isn’t ready on Linux yet” statement.

I know.

I know.
That said, WMR is partially working at this time.

My VR hardware is still not working, and Linux is clearly not “VR ready”.
Counter point:
VR is working. It’s not working for your specific hardware and use case.
My Oculus Dev Kit 1 and 2 don’t work properly on Windows anymore. Does that mean Windows isn’t ready for gaming because my specific VR hardware doesn’t work on it? Or does it mean that “VR ready” doesn’t have to include every VR headset.
Get VR working without having to compile from source and it will be
VR is not mainstream gaming.
VR is a minority of a minority of a minority of gaming.
In addition to what others have said… It is?
I can plug in my index, open steam, and run VR games, just fine.
My HP Reverb G2 V2 isn’t.
What’s your point?

By that logic android doesn’t work because you can’t use it on a iPhone.
