    …SpaceOS, which is a built on top of Google’s ChromiumOS…

    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

        You can do that with chrome os. Chrome os has a really good Linux subsystem built in nowadays.

            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.

          So it’s Linux, but not GNU/Linux.

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

            Again, it’s just a display. It’s like asking for computer monitors that work with Linux. Neither the OS or any software runs on it.

        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.

            I assume these folks implemented their own AR stack, so the Linux world would indeed to win much with them being here, other than convincing people to use Linux in general.
