I wasn't expecting to find that nearly as compelling as I did. It actually makes me want to get a Quest 3. His point about "open" also makes me very happy. Between the open source stuff they've been doing the last many years such as React et al, contributions to CentOS, and of course the massive contribution of LLaMa, I've found myself slowly shifting from "Facebook is an evil company" to "Wow Facebook has become one of the companies I view more favorably, though of course they still have a lot of generic big-tech evils in them." These are strange times.
The thing that has been holding me back is Linux support. I've been Linux-only now for 10+ years and have no interest in setting up Windows.
Has anybody done the Quest with Linux only? Last I heard the experience was frustrating and lots of stuff didn't work. Is that still the case?
I was just recently trying to set up Quest 2 with Linux. You have to enable dev mode and sideload an app called ALVR on it, and the PC. Wireless streaming works but not great fidelity. Doesn't support Wayland.
On Windows - Download the official Quest app, everything works OOB
Sorry for what is probably a stupid question, but do the games run on the Quest or on the PC or a mix of both? If I never used it with a PC, what could I do with it?
