From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Tablet, for whatever reason it gives blobby output like this:

Maybe some bug in the Linux version? E.g. if they're receiving input events at a different rate than on Windows, and the code assumes it's always the same.. Just speculation but it feels like it wouldn't be easy to draw anything if it was like this for everybody.

Man, you just don't have this kind of insight anywhere outside of people into FOSS. Even with proprietary software ready to get into specifics and try to grok the issue. Kudos.

It's only a wild guess, though I have seen similar issues in other projects :), but I thought it might be worth reporting it to the developer in case it's a just a bug. I love FOSS, it's so satisfying being able to fix (some of) my own issues instead of having to hope that the closed source devs have time and motivation to fix it for you. SteamVR for Linux is one of those projects that feel like it could be so much better if they could open source it..
