I paid less than that for a very good 64GB less than 2 years ago.

I work IT adjacent in physical security systems (cameras, access control, intrusion systems etc.). Everyone looks confused when they ask what I have at home or what they should install and I tell them fuck all of this surveillance state/must know every time someone thinks about my house bullshit. I push back on a lot of corporate garbage as well and I'm lucky enough to work off a company that listens and balances security with privacy when I steer us that way.

I think this is pretty common in tech fields.

Lol, no idea. She mentioned hers was melted and wouldn't charge and asked if I wanted it while I was on that side of the country. The plastic around the USB charging port was completely melted/burned. Luckily the port itself is mounted on its own daughterboard and I just build/wired up a new one.

Ended up with a Quest 3 shortly after experimenting.

The Quest 2 should work fine for all of this. I got started down this path after rebuilding my sister's that had caught fire and melted 😆

Quest 3 (until the Frame comes out and I can get the fuck out of Meta's garbage).

There's a Linux VR Discord that's super helpful of you're in that ecosystem, but basically look into WiVRn and ALVR projects, install, and play with configs. It's easier to do than it looks but depends on your distro, video card etc.

On my system both ALVR then WiVRn installs were as simple as installing the packages and running them. Some games complained with WiVRn but all I had to do was add a string to the launch options in Steam that was provided by the launcher for just such a case.

Linux VR has come a long way for sure! Feel free to hit me up if you have more questions, or hell I'm happy to help in VR Chat/Resonite too if you just wanna chat about the tech lol, I'm one of the weirdos that still thinks this stuff is cool even if it's never going to be mainstream the way corps keep trying to monitize it.

Edit: links help 🙄 https://discord.gg/QxrS6dcaa

I run all my VR stuff on Linux and have for two years now. Beyond needing ALVR or WiVRn to stream wirelessly to my headset it's painless and I get higher framerates than my friends on Windows.

It's not like the thing is going to learn from its mistake. But cool, waste those tokens to have it explain that if fucked up after it fucks up lol.

This is exactly the kind of crap So y lives to pull, and why after my PS4's disc drive died (and I found out they're paired to the motherboard and can't just be replaced) I stopped buying any more games, let Plus lapse, and repurchased everything on PC.

They all run better and can be modded there anyway. Fuck you Sony.

I'm a huge fan of tiling window managers, and i3 is still the king of getting the hell out of my way and letting me work/play. That's the beauty of Linux systems, everyone gets to set things up how they want.

FFS, you still need a bg check to buy from Walmart. There's plenty of things to point out to fight for sane gun laws without making shit up.

Well yeah but money now.

Time to spin up a small business I guess
