I use X11 with Nvidia without issue. While I like the idea of Wayland, and it being pushed a lot now, it really remains beta software. While I think it's good Wayland is being focused on and promoted by the distros and DEs, I think it's a bit of a distraction from Linux as a whole.

I've had to switch back to X11 on both Nvidia and AMD devices due to bugs or compatibility issues in Wayland.

I agree about VR - I keep dual boot windows on my PC and VR is about the only thing I use it for now. But the result is I just use VR less.

I dual boot Windows for VR and Fusion360. Do alternatives exist? Yes, but it's just not something I want to spend hours tinkering with for what I perceive to be a worse experience.

I tried ALVR but it kept disconnecting if it connected at all. VD on Windows works flawlessly every time.
