Does it work on Linux? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] pre@feddit.uk 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) @detalferous@lemm.ee You don't need a Facebook account, but you will need a Meta account, which is arguably basically the same thing. It's a stand-alone android machine, so it's using a linux kernel most likely. But that isn't what you mean. You won't be able to easily wipe the OS and install anything else. Not sure if it has a link-cable to connect to a Steam PC like the Quest2 had. If so then that will work to connect it to Linux just as well as any other headset, but VR on Linux/Steam in general is pretty poor. If I buy one I'll ban it from WIFI except when actually downloading games. @fer0n@lemm.ee permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] detalferous@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago Super informative.
