Meta Quest, but treat it as a dumb headset with ALVR?
Steam frame is out soon and should be the ultimate Linux friendly headset. It runs real Linux and Valve is big on “it’s your computer to use as you please”.
May I ask what the recommendation is at the moment if I want a Linux AR headset that can take prescription lenses (or accommodate glasses)? I'd like to write my own code but not have to beg somebody else to let me run it.
Oh absolutely wait like two weeks and get on the list for a Steam Frame. It actually runs arch Linux and Steam says “it’s your computer, you can do what you want with it” unlike Meta and the Quest. I’m excited to do Kicad in mine.
I was thinking of getting the steam frame but considering the component crisis it'll probably be well above €1000 and that's a non-starter for me. I'll just stick with my quest 3 which has about the same level of specs. But was only 450€ for me on prime day.
If it were a significant bump in resolution over the quest (like the vision pro or the galaxy XR) I would have done it. But it's not.

but you can't use it like the AVP right? the camera in Steam Frame is black and white only (or is grayscale the better term?)
Personally, I think not being tied to a particular OS in the control of the device manufacturer is much more important than whether the cameras are color or just grayscale.

There is an expansion port on the nose area that can be used to add color cameras if you really want that. Personally, I think not being tied to a particular OS in the control of the device manufacturer is much more important than whether the cameras are color or just grayscale.

well the whole point of AVP, at least to me and many others, is the AR functionality , being able to walk around your house and having virtual screens in every room. Stuff like that. You would want full colour for that I think
