- 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
