The VR headset is going to be standalone??

That's pretty nuts right?

Any ideas on Linux support?

[–] chrash0@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

pretty sure it’s SteamOS, an Arch Linux derivative, on a fairly popular Snapdragon platform. probably not too difficult to hack on it.

It days right in the marketing text that the headset is "a PC" which to me implies full SteamOS distro with no limitations on installing a different OS, if you can get the many hardware drivers to work.
