It’s somewhat ironic that the way it has been framed here is as lacking in nuanced understanding as the style of aid which Shikwati argued against in the full interview. Unsurprising we should get a snippet cropped by a right wing libertarian think-tank in such a way that it boils down to simply “hurr aid bad”.

As always with Marxism, you’re convinced that your flavour of Marxism is new, and will work despite all flavours of Marxism failing in the past.

I have both a Reverb G2 and a Pimax both working great via Monado.

That's great to hear as a fellow Reverb G2 user. Starting with Windows 11 24h2 they dropped all Windows MR support. It looks like there's also a driver called "Oasis" now which restores functionality on Windows.

Yes, for a while there was no Windows support and they were extremely cheap, a great HMD for racing sims on Linux. The emergence of the Oasis driver has increased demand for them again but they're still a bargain.

I'm pretty sure they weren't referring to 100LL, but either way even back in the 90s Jet-A was around USD 0.50 per gallon, in the 60s it was nearly 1/5th of even that.

Possibly because you won’t have as many logs to look at on Windows, merely given the option of sending a proprietary dump blob to the developer’s bug tracker, and then hoping they eventually fix whatever mystery issue is affecting you. God help you if it’s the overzealous DRM or anticheat from some other game that likely isn’t present in their QA machines.

Have you given WiVRn a try? I’ve heard good things.

that is neat indeed. With "only once" I mean figuring out the desired config

Have you tried running the windows RGB utility via Wine with HIDRAW enabled for the device?

Alternatively, given you’re running NixOS you can just override the `src` of the derivation with a newer version. This is part of the point of running NixOS: making small modifications to packages in the fly.

Good idea about HIDRAW — I’ll have to look into that, thanks!

I did try overriding the src for OpenRGB but as I’m on unstable, something else in the dependency chain must have broken as the post-install patches weren’t applying IIRC.

Wasn’t urgent but I’ll likely get back to it at some point.

For VR support Monado works very well for me with both Pimax (base-station tracked) and WMR (inside-out tracked) headsets.

Yes, micro USB is far too flimsy for a lot of things it’s used for from what I’ve observed. The connector seems to have a lot of leverage for ripping its tracks off, but often not a great mechanical connection to the board.
