@Jes in particular, muvm (the outermost microVM that facilitates 4KB page sizes) doesn't pass through hardware devices, so you've immediately got issues speaking directly to it. so yeah, pretty much no DRM ;p

@georgia steam works, yes, though don't expect fantastic performance- there's many layers of translation and emulation at play so it can really struggle on the constrained hardware of the macbook air.

running native apps is pretty solid though, even for VR! the asahi team still warn that the distro and kernel is very much work-in-progress though (things like external display support required compiling an experimental branch of the kernel, for example)

yeah, both marcan and lina left the project- they were effectively bullied off, as i remember. it was really shitty. i'm not quite sure what the state of the project is following that, but progress certainly feels slower than when they were both around :/

"can you play x86 VR games on it?"

right now, probably not: www.reddit.com/r/AsahiLinux/comments/1ghv6jj/comment/lv1ie1u/

tl;dr there's so many compatibility and emulation layers involved that get in the way of the direct hardware interface needed for wired VR. wireless might work, though! another option is waydroid (😨)

this is. an awkward setup. in brief:
- asahi linux running the experimental fairydust kernel (helpful build/install script here). this provides the DP aux support i need to get a valve index running over USB-C.
- monado compiled from source, with xrgears running on top. xrgears needs to be told which XR runtime to used with XR_RUNTIME_JSON, but otherwise doesn't seem to require any special care.
- for whatever reason, the headset appears in KDE as an external display. not sure how to fix that, also not a high priority for me. my best guess is it has something to do with the experimental nature of this distro supporting DP aux mode at all.

i'm very excited to get this up and running with other, more interesting apps sometime later! for now, it's really quite late and i should sleep zzz

💡 TIP: Asahi Linux does not yet support external displays.

@valerie-tar-gz.uk pretty much only makes sense for heavy tinkerers who are okay with the idea of bricking their own phone until they can next get to a PC to reflash it LOL
