Eh? He's seen this already and nothing has happened that would have changed things. VR is still too niche to need its own subforum.

VR is becoming more and more popular, and because it is a new technology, people will have problems and questions about it. I suggest that a new category be created in the LTT forums for VR to cater to this expanding industry

Well you can post them here

https://linustechtips.com/main/forum/44-peripherals/

Kinda, but VR isn't really a peripheral like mice and keyboards are. it's more akin to a monitor, which wouldn't fall under peripherals section. that being said, posting questions about the vive in the displays category isn't much better, because VR headsets are much more than simply a display. they have a whole setup process, controllers, and will likely get more complex as time goes on.

For specific VR setups: New build and plannings

For VR as a toy: Peripherals

For VR problems: Troubleshooting

 

But yeah, VR is rising but dedicating a whole subforum is imo bit too much

"Conglomerate" is the word I think you were looking for.

Meh, close enough. I know what it means in this sense, but 7 years of education makes my brain think this.
