A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

@[email protected] 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.
