It works great out of the box, including head tracking through OpenTrack

Head tracking works out of the box for the Delanclip, but the Wine output needs to be set to the Proton variant.

Battery Performance:

Medium setting, low shadows, 11w TDP, 45 FPS.

Difficult To Read Text:

HUD is a bit hard to read, digits are too small

Input:Controller Mapping

Yaw is bound to both R1/L1 and R2/L2. Causes issues when firing. Unbind yaw from triggers.

Minor adjustments needed for controls, overall it just works.
