Know any good AR/VR display environments for Linux? I like the idea of using lightweight AR/VR but I haven’t heard of anything open source that’s even close to production ready on devices like these.
I’ve been using Sunshine for Linux with Moonlight on my AVP and that works great. The native Moonlight port for AVP is still very much a buggy, crashy WIP, but the iPad version is a decent enough standby.
Honestly, using virtual Mac Display on AVP is so, so, so good, that I want that functionality everywhere… from any and all of my devices. Sunshine + Moonlight is currently the most promising path forward, IMO.
Maybe I missed something, but I don’t believe Steam VR works like a full desktop manager (Apple Vision Pro style) from which you can multi task and create virtual screens.
There seem to be a few tools that’ll act like VR games but actually just stream your windows to a VR space, which would work, but I’m not sure if those would work as well on Linux.
They don’t! ChromeOS is a partially closed source Linux distro, after all. I just don’t know of any good pieces of software that aren’t part of proprietary products like the Quest or this thing.
I don’t expect a closed source window manager to get much attention on Linux, but I guess it’s possible. Do you know any, perhaps?
I’m out.
Linux is… right there. It’s right there.
Chromium OS is based on Linux.
But yeah, if I can’t apt-get the packages I need, fuck it
fsck it*
its not based on linux it uses the linux kernel, but hasnt got the gnu userland things a “standard” linux distro has
So it’s Linux, but not GNU/Linux.
or, as i like to call it, gnu plus linux
You can do that with chrome os. Chrome os has a really good Linux subsystem built in nowadays.
And what about Chromium OS?
Didn’t actually now there was a chromium version to be honest but i imagine it’s very similar to standard Chrome but with less Google
It’s literally in the article and the top-level comment.
It’s not clear which features are in the OSS version and which are locked-down.
I mean I also completely overlooked that you wrote “Chromium” in your comment too, with my brain just translating that to just “chrome” it seems.

Not sure what you’re asking for here. AR/VR is just a display technology. Steam VR obviously runs fine on Linux.

Apps on Linux don’t need to be open source, you know?

ChromiumOS is Linux.
