meta quest 3 (that you can remove meta with a recent root exploit) works very well but it is very heavy :/

It works with Linux as multiple monitors? The resolution is ok for reading code for long periods?

I bought some vr glasses a few years back but ended up returning them as there was no way you could code with them.

They weren't xreal, but a similar competitor, can't recall the name.

yes to all. the optics are very good. more over i can use it in standalone mode if i only need a terminal - termux.

the only jank in standalone is android's handling of physical keyboards.

the software side is WayVR which a wayland compositor (?) that can handle windows, or can also handle monitors (and virtual ones) at least with KDE

Great, thanks for the info.

I really wanted something I could bring with me when working away from home without a multi-monitor setup.

The glasses I had were Viture, I remember now, they were very disappointing.

The quest is really affordable for this purpose, so I think I might try it.

As someone who cannot work on screens with resolution lower than 4k 27" monitors, the pixel density on quest 3 makes me want to cry

Is there a pointer to the exploit or would that be illegal to post?

Have a meta quest 3 but want to replace the chrome browser on and generally meta as well.

lol it was a 200 day exploit. the exploit is just dirtyfrag, the repo is called fuguquest.

Why root it? You can already mirror screens

i do not want meta to see me wanking to be frank
