Native Linux Build
NegativeFive
Official support for a native Linux build of VRChat. As Linux gaming continues to grow. More users are choosing Linux as their primary OS. A native build would provide better performance, lower overhead, improved compatibility for the growing Linux user base. This would be ensuring inclusivity for users across all platforms.

I use Linux, yet I disagree. Proton works just fine. This is a bad idea, I'll leave it at that.

I would say this is a good idea, however. you will run into the same issue that Android and iOS have. they could have a shader converter yes, but it will be really broken. all custom shaders wouldnt work otherwise. In the end if they decide to support Linux. they would need to setup a shader converter or make it impossible to join windows-only worlds like Android.
Proton works well for now.

Pokéduel If I understand correctly, Proton uses DXVK which is effectively what you're calling a "shader converter". Works fine though. I think AVPro Video and codecs is the more annoying thing.

Gazel im meaning integrating that directly into the game, its not easy when it comes to unity honestly. or setting something up like the the iOS compatibility layer on android worlds that exists

It would allow the game to reach a wider audience which will only benefit the game.

Yes please.

I feel like this would be an interesting idea. I like Linux and SteamOS so hopefully, VRChat will listen in soon.

had a homie gift me like 6 months of vrc+ and just so i can't even use the webcam tracking for desktop... needless to say but a native port would probably make the process a lot more seamless.

Oh, before I forget. Spout should be included in this.

I would love to see this, I mean future headsets, handhelds can use just this one edition instead of many ports

I believe having Linux support would be a great idea due to its growing popularity and reaching out to grow the player base

I am primarily a Linux user and would really appreciate a fully native Linux version being developed. This has been a pain point for a long time with using VRChat, and I would use it a lot more if Linux was fully supported.
