Idk if Haruhi Suzumiya (you made a typo at the end btw) is a good noob recommendation, isn't that the one with the "repitition"? 😭 (Didn't wanna spoil it but I think you get what I mean)
Speaking of third party apps, here's some recommendations:
Android: FindroidWorks absolutely great, it's very rare that I even find a bug.
iOS: SwiftfinI don't use iOS but this is the one I installed on my friend's phones.
Linux (and maybe Windows): DelfinThis is a GTK 4 app for Linux and maybe it has a Windows build too but I didn't check. It's not perfect, there's bugs here and there but it mostly works fine. The developer isn't very active (which is understandable), so it would be nice if someone, who has the time for it, would help out.
That was the case in the past but it's not true anymore. China is just the best in a lot of sectors and also oftentimes the only one who can produce certain things. Here's a video where someone tried to make a product in the US only, it explains a lot of that: https://youtu.be/3ZTGwcHQfLY
VR on linux actually works just fine from my experience. I've never had a game not work. The big issue is just headset support. The HTC Vive and Valve Index are the only headsets with official drivers, since they were made by Valve. Standalone headsets, like the Quest for example, also work using ALVR. Anything else doesn't really work. There are open source drivers but they're not complete enough to be useable unless something majorly changed there since I last checked.
