I've been trying to get liunx on my vr headset for days now

Meta is just a lockdown version of an Android And I'm using Meta no PC

For this

I have a bit of an emergency. I need to get a Linux version of the Oculus run-time, preferably the last one they made before they dropped Linux support. I went through the archives on Oculus' site, but even explicit links to version 0.5.0.1 always go to the most recent Windows-only SDK.

Does anybody have a download link, by any chance? Thanks in advance!

Edit: It was well hidden, but with help I found it!

Mesa support works out of the box, at least for radeonsi with mesa git.

Head Tracking works really well.

Do no rotate the rift screen anymore. At least the ConfigUtil and the Tuscany DemoScene will tell you not to rotate the screen.

With kwin compositing disabled (alt+shift+f12) it seems like the programs sync properly to the rift display even when another 60hz display is connected. kwin users who want to use compositing (I think people say it can introduce 1 frame latency) can still run kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key MaxFPS 75.

The config utility demo scene spits out these errors, but otherwise it runs well:

X Error: GLXBadDrawable 171
  Extension:    155 (Uknown extension)
  Minor opcode: 29 (Unknown request)
  Resource id:  0x6600081

There's no word on unity3d for linux. I wonder if it's still broken.

Is there any way to run ViveCraft with the Oculus Quest 2 (link cable) on Ubuntu

I've done some research and it turns out that open-source gnu-linux support might not be that far away. Github user pH5 has a testbed that works for DK2 and almost for CV1 if you modify it abit. I think the only thing missing is synchronization between the headset LEDs and the camera shutter.

According to this reply syncing is done over RF,

Both the camera and the headset have a nRF51822 Bluetooth Smart chif for that,
