Is it going to be able to run decent games? I'm curious about support for GPUs. I guess VR won't be a thing for a while.

Can confirm VR works!

VR "works", but as someone who uses it, I can't reccomend it for now.

Compatibility is wildly different between headsets. And no matter which route you take, you will need to tinker and troubleshoot. There is no plug and play solution right now.

If you want to plug in your VR headset, and just play some games, stick to Windows for now. If you're fine tinkering around, there's always SteamVR, but also check out Envision and Monado.

As for desktop games, you can find what works on ProtonDB. Most games work fine, with the exception of games with kernel level anti-cheat.

Thanks, that's about what I was expecting (if it worked at all).
