I'm not interested in VR/AR stuff, but I'm still waiting for dumb lightweight wireless glasses that would be able to replace my four monitor setup on PC.

meta quest 3 (that you can remove meta with a recent root exploit) works very well but it is very heavy :/

It works with Linux as multiple monitors? The resolution is ok for reading code for long periods?

I bought some vr glasses a few years back but ended up returning them as there was no way you could code with them.

They weren't xreal, but a similar competitor, can't recall the name.

yes to all. the optics are very good. more over i can use it in standalone mode if i only need a terminal - termux.

the only jank in standalone is android's handling of physical keyboards.

the software side is WayVR which a wayland compositor (?) that can handle windows, or can also handle monitors (and virtual ones) at least with KDE

Is there a pointer to the exploit or would that be illegal to post?

Have a meta quest 3 but want to replace the chrome browser on and generally meta as well.

lol it was a 200 day exploit. the exploit is just dirtyfrag, the repo is called fuguquest.
