What Hacker News says
4 sourcesThe drivers here https://github.com/wheaney/XRLinuxDriver mark Viture as "recommended" with the best support. I do see some mention that head tracking is a desktop responsibility, but I presume that means some support in the driver... do you have more informatio non this?
In I ditched my laptop for a pocketable mini PC and a pair of AR glassesIt gets even worse, looks like their driver makes calls to google analytics.[1] I'd stay away. The README doesn't even mention it, and the promise that "your personal data will never be shared, sold, or distributed in any form." certainly sounds misleading when you consider this.

In I ditched my laptop for a pocketable mini PC and a pair of AR glassesAccording to [1], Linux support is not great: "Unwilling to collaborate. Unofficial, open-source SDK. Exhibits drift, noise.".
The VITURE and RayNeo ones that have "Official collaboration" seem to be roughly similar price.
I haven't researched in-depth yet though. I looked up some YouTube reviews a few weeks ago, but I found it hard to really compare from that. And of course none of the reviewers are using Linux, because they're not cool like that.
I wonder if anyone here has any experiences with it on Linux?
