What else am I missing?
I mean if the vendor specifically decides NOT to support Linux AND there are viable alternative that do, e.g Valve Index, that run IMHO some of the best content, i.e Half-life:Alyx, then IMHO popularity is indeed important but it does show it’s not an OS problem.
FWIW I did build and run Monado, even presented at FOSSXR on WebXR, so I’m relatively confident I understand the status of XR support. Here the problem is not a lack of capability of the OS is my point, it’s “only” a business decision from one single vendor that yes is popular on low-end hardware.
