  • On that note, anybody has rayneo air4 pro working with x11?
    by sourcegrift
  • It would be great if this would work on the quest too. The AVP is just way too expensive.
    by wolvoleo
  • This is what I call interesting!
    by pmkary
  • I'm GLaD to see more X11 projects recently
    by inigyou
  • Neat, it would be cool if it also worked on the Quest.
    by lorecore
  • Interesting. I wonder if it's based on Xorg or something else

  • Seem to be unavailable in German App Store?…

  • You can always switch to US app store region (cancel exisiting subscriptions, leave family, and wait until apple music/tv subscription is expired).

    You won’t be able to use non-US credit card for the app store but you can always buy US virtual apple gift cards on amazon straight from apple shop there.

  • I know startups who don't publish to certain EU countries because they have to fill "a big scary form"
    by saaspirant
  • Lots of individual / hobbyist developers are no longer publishing to the EU App Store due to Digital Services Act regulation and compliance.

  • Very creative!

    Does anyone else besides me suspect X11 will outlive visionOS?

    by rezmason
  • Certainly, XLibre just released a new version 25.2.0. I suspect X11 will long outlast Fedora
    by calvinmorrison
  • Hell I half expect X11 to outlast wayland at this point.

  • 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.

  • Meta Quest, but treat it as a dumb headset with ALVR?
    by nolist_policy
  • 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.

  • WayVR is also worth checking out, if you're interested in using a native x11/Wayland desktop with a headset on Linux: https://github.com/wayvr-org/wayvr

  • I can't believe the screenshot isn't running xeyes. At least it is TWM.
    by thx67
  • I was thinking the same thing
    by zer0zzz
  • Could you run xeyes on the outside? IIRC Apple Vision had this outer display for rendering the bits of user's face that are covered by it.
    by TeMPOraL
  • Apps don’t get access to gaze position on the Vision Pro, for privacy/security reasons.
    by jrmg
  • Right. The only thing I want to know is do the xeyes follow you around the room!?
    by dofm
  • >3D in 2D in 3D. OpenGL clients can use GLX rendering over X11. Compatibility varies, as it did in the 2000s.

    Made me chuckle. I think at one point in my life I actually knew which exact GL versions and features were working on which servers. Also it's pretty cool.

    Still won't buy an AVP.

  • why not? Personally, I tried but the crap with my prescription because I wear glasses was too much, so I didn't end up getting one because I fail at executive function.
