Do you know by chance what breaks? For example, would immersed [0] still work, or tethered Steam VR?

I don't know either, but from the description it doesn't sound too good:

> What doesn’t work?

> Most apps downloaded through the Oculus Store because of entitlement errors (including Virtual Desktop :/)

I would assume Immersed uses this.

Disclaimer: Considering getting a Quest 2 just for Immersed.

Immersed is free on the oculus store, so I don’t think there should be a problem with installing it from SideQuest.

Thanks for the tip, I'll make sure to try it!

I’m holding out for their non-Oculus support, which is coming Soon™ according to their FAQ.

[schaefer]

Unfortunately, that’s not what the immersed faq says… it says support for new “XR platforms” coming soon. Those platforms could very well be unreleased future oculus headsets…

[callesgg]

They might be referring to the xr-3 headset. https://varjo.com/products/xr-3/

Wow, that's an expensive headset...

[stavros]

Wow, "talk to sales"? Who has that kind of money?!

[go_elmo]

Get it & try eleven. You wont be dissapointed, I promise :)

Sadly, I'm just a secondary source as someone who uses Linux full-time (and thus can't use Virtual Desktop). I'll ask my friend who did this and get back to you if he has any information.

It doesn't work on Linux? :( That sucks.

Edit: Wait... Immersed is available for Linux. For someone who doesn't know what all the requirements are for a VR desktop environment, can anyone list them? Assume I'm thinking about buying the Oculus 2 and want to use it with Linux + Immersed.

SteamVR works fine on Linux, but the only wired/lighthouse headset that works well is the Index. Most wired headsets, especially consumer ones, don't bother, so you'll have a hard time with really anything but the Index. As for Quest on Linux, the closest you'll get is with ALVR, which only has experimental builds for Linux. Sadly, it has 2-3x the latency of VD and poor NVIDIA support. I follow their development very closely, though, and it's certainly getting better.

Thanks!
