Monado becomes the open source...
Monado becomes the open source foundation for various OpenXR (VR) vendors https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/03/monado-becomes-the-open-source-foundation-for-various-openxr-vr-vendors/
yesterday i was finally able to play SkyrimVR with the HP Reverb G2 (WMR) on Linux(TM) !! yess... well, i need some mods to set my characters position etc because the savegame was from windows, but i hope this will be possible!
So so so glad ... one less reason to start windows... hmmm, probably the last!
here's how: https://www.mrhorda.com/index.php/blog/hp-reverb-g2

apparently I just need to enter developer mode
anyways, it does a thing. IT DOES A THING! I shall celebrate with a snack.

I am confused. I'm not seeing a "build profile" button as shown on https://lvra.gitlab.io/docs/fossvr/envision/wmr_controllers_on_arch/ What could I have done wrong? I went ahead and did `sudo cmake --build . --target install` for the `dev-constellation-controller-tracking` branch of #monado and yet it's not finding an #OpenXR runtime.

Collabora is excited to see Monado at the heart of the new OpenXR runtime for Android XR, a major milestone for Open Source XR interoperability.

Hehehe I went on #Resonite, started a session and explored a random world
On Linux with my Windows Mixed Reality headset!
There were huge caveats but it worked :D If anyone had seen me I would have looked all shaky and also could only turn right :p
Thanks to the good folks at #Envision, #Monado, #Basalt, that person that forked Monado to add support for 6DoF tracking of WMR controllers)
Also #xrizer for games that don't support OpenXR
Kinda trying to decide if I should just break down and boot into Windows for VR again.
SteamVR still looks like jelly in Linux, and Monado is currently broken due to a Mesa bug even though it was supposedly patched.
Buh. VR really is the last thing keeping my stupid Windows partition around.
It really bums me how Valve has left VR in such a broken state for so long on Linux. The Steam Frame gives me a little bit of hope, although I wish their VR efforts were going into an open source project instead of their proprietary SteamVR.
