Is there any up-to-date method to keep the Meta Quest 3 as privacy friendly as possilbe? I know it can’t be made perfect, but maybe some known working block lists etc.?

i’m thinking about getting one but their data hoarding is the reason i don’t want to. Unless i can somehow make it less invasive.

Good to know - thanks for the feedback!

So the Quest 2 works to this day with those DNS blocks? You use SteamLink now i assume? Or you ever got ALVR working?

When looking up the Valve Index i don’t see that many issues with SteamVR on Linux?

I got rid of the Q2 a couple months ago but never had issues.

I used Virtual Desktop, not SteamLink

You don’t see a lot of issues because the few people who ever used SteamVR on Linux ran away screaming and never came back¹

¹I made that up, but it’s bad

Can you play VR games in Virtual Desktop? Like BeatSaber for example?

Awesome, i will get the chance to take a Q3 home from a friend and test it out. Thanks!

Steamvr on linux seems nice if you have the index, but is hit or miss with other headsets, at least that’s what ive heard

LVRA has a great table listing compatibility.
