Yes! Not having to use Windows with all the bloat and spyware 😄
Thanks, but I think that there's no need for a native linux package as it runs great with proton. Running VAM on linux needs some option of Proton anyway, so those few doing that already have it.
I've been using linux to run VAM on...
For the few playing VAM or making stuff for VAM on linux, this application does work with Proton launchers.
On my test, I have some issues when using a CachyOS or GE launcher, but with UMU it works perfectly. It's the same when running VAM, but on your end it may be different.
Excellent work...
Probably there are not so many in people's hands and VAM users would be a minority in that group.
From the specs, 16 GB of RAM is subpar for VAM, let alone VAM with VR. This is a "console" PC for the livingroom, not a powerful machine for VAM users.
Come on, do some basic search on what guides exist before asking for essentially everything from zero.
Many guides here about the topic:

The VAM part is very easy:
Specific signal > trigger something in VAM
A signal can be just a keyboard keybind, super easy to do. Can even be a sound that is recognized as the input, and so on.
The question you have is about some device that is briefly mentioned with little detail and that...
As no one knows what you did or did not do in your animation, all I can share is more guides and to practice, practice, practice:

This is up to you. If both tools allow you to do what you want to do, then they're both good options.
If you go about seeing people's scenes, especially older creators (in VAM, not their age) who made scenes before Timeline was a plugin, you'll find all kinds of uses for the animation patterns...
Hairs can be used on a different skin type if you copy the files to the folder of the other sex.
e.g.
Hair for female is in Custom/Hair/Female/CreatorName/HairName/hair files
to make it usable on male, copy it to a corresponding folder but change female to male.
As they normally come in a VAR...
Like something in between the elbow node and shoulder node? Not natively. Maybe there's a plugin out there that could do this, but who knows?
You can use pose presets and/or the Control Physics 2 tab.*
* If you only mean the "interactable in play" or the pose/rotation checkboxes, a pose preset...

On my side, I decided it was time to ditch my VR use of Windows and give VR on linux a chance. I'm very impressed and it's great to be once again...

What is a macro keypad anyway?
A macro keypad is something like this:
Often is a custom micro keyboard with only a few keys, some might have knobs, a screen, can be something you buy or you do it yourself.
I like the DIY kind, I have one similar to that in the...
