   Since Elite Dangerous has no linux support yet - I've started playing Eve Online on linux with wine (Elite dangerous does not work in wine yet).

     misread your question on my initial reply. Elite does not like wine at all, and being x64 bit only causes more problems it seems. I had high hopes for a native linux version, they have added it to consoles and such, but still no luck yet..
     Eve works perfectly in wine, so I enjoy playing that. It's a bit different from Elite, but I like the gameplay. And it being free to play on steam is good, that way I get to spend enough time with it until I start paying.

     I agree. same goes for my oculus, I backed it in the initial kickstarter campaign, they also was going to have linux support, but they dropped the ball on that pretty quick, then when facebook came a long it did not help either.
     And then when the consumer version came along they sent me one consumer version for free since I backed the initial kickstarter project, but still no linux support. There is just one hope for that tought, and that is the fact that steam VR now is making its way to linux.

     Yeah, valvle is pushing VR on linux because they want it in steam OS.
     And I'm damn happy about valve paving the way for such things. They are the company that really pushed things over to linux.

     Yeah, my plan during the winter is to get more into VR development for Linux. I finally got rid of windows for one of the projects I work on ( #yaics ), that was the last project I had that I needed windows for when making precompiled binaries. I set up cross compilation on my debian box, so now I do not need windows anymore at all. Also swapped out 3dsmax for blender , so I do not need it for any 3D work either anymore.
