It just means system libraries pinned to versions which are version controlled

It’s like a package.json or maven.xml or build.gradle or whatever but for the entire OS (An OS is really just an app that runs other apps so it makes sense to treat the deps via a dep management strat)

And if u want to swap libraries you have to layer them on using a command which will add the new library onto a commit tree, so if something breaks u just roll back

The idea is that ur pinned system libraries can get overridden and swapped out, but never have their underlying code changed or removed, so if something breaks u can just rollback to last happy version automatically at startup

Everything stays open sourced tho, it just forces stability in the system code by making sure all changes to it are versioned and tracked

Ooh pimax does look exactly like what I want good looks thanks

 

I wanted to get myself a BigScreen VR for Christmas.

In order to get one, you need to do a 3d depth face scan using an lOS device that has privacy settings and content blockers set to as permissive as possible. Except even after doing that it doesn't work.

The solution literally listed on the customer support site was to either try someone else's lOS device, or to fucking drive to an Apple Store and hope they let u plug ur email into their germy, who knows what software's running on it, demo iPhones and hope it successfully runs their shitty WebKit app.

Couldn't get the face scan working, definitely not gonna plug my email into a demo iPhone, and I'm pretty sure I don't live near an Apple Store anyways.

BigScreen can get fucked, stick with Steam Index VR
