my partner uses this currently for a similar setup, her pc is on wifi and she uses this for her quest pro, so it should work well these are a little bit dependent on environment so i would grab it and give it a shot, and if it doesn't work well just send it back :3

it just runs like a local router directly between your pc and the headset, and repeats any connection already on your computer to the headset as well so you basically get a direct communication to your pc while piggybacking off of your existing wifi network for internet features on the headset

fyi, the current open beta sdk for vrc will break most avatar projects using physbone-related tools, including gesture manager due to a change in the sdk itself hopefully its fixed soon, but avoid it right now

oh shit i should also mention im not talking about the content creation half of the original post, its absolutely not viable for that, dont switch if youre making content and dont want to spend hours learning new tools!!!!!!

lastly, if (and at this point likely when) valve releases a desktop / living room console to pair with the steam deck, there will hopefully be a huge shift in freedom with gaming 🙏

it also should be noted the only reason AAA games dont run on linux is because of kernel-level anticheat, even though most KAC vendors these days literally support proton / wine and developers choose to turn it off, not because of lack of linux support or proton etc.

Kay- @virtualreality.engineer · 22/10/2025
call me crazy but im actually of the opinion right now that linux is *only* useful as a desktop os if youre doing development (web or xplat) or gaming proton has come really far, but if youre a AAA andy, youre still outta luck

my options were have the text be unreadably small, or scale the ui to an awful 2x and have it take up most of my screen, which negates the point of having a hidpi monitor in the first place mostly because the unity ui uses gtk3 and for some reason they decided to make gtk only scale with integers

Kay- @virtualreality.engineer · 16/10/2025
yeah i mean i use it 100% at work, however not being able to use unity properly, when it's 90% of what i do at home, makes it unusable for me right now as my main OS

Kay- @virtualreality.engineer · 16/10/2025
honestly i dont know why i bothered, this is the exact same conclusion i came to before, i fucking love linux but it unironically fucking sucks as a desktop operating system because people wont support it because maintainers cant agree on anything

Kay- @virtualreality.engineer · 16/10/2025
i spent 5 hours trying to figure this out today and my final solution? go back to fucking windows
110
Kay- @virtualreality.engineer · 16/10/2025
the unity developers have not added scaling to macos or linux for their editor, so its impossible to use on hidpi screens, its honestly so fucking comical on top of this linux maintainers just fight constantly over handling window scaling no wonder people think this os is a joke

windows has finally decided to full screen block input and force me to update to the next feature update so ive swapped to endeavour again this week, we will be trying our best to make things work this time because i truely cannot be fucked to use that shithole operating system anymore

hopefully though this wont take too long and version 2.2.0 can be the first beta version

Kay- @virtualreality.engineer · 09/09/2025
spectre 2.1.0 is put, its now on sveltekit 5 and tailwind 4, now that ive updated the frontend, its time to rebuild the backend i want to make the app work a bit more offline, and lower the overall amount of requests it makes, though vrc's api makes effeciency a bit tricky

i have so much stuff ive made that ive never released due to my own mental barriers and other things, its been a huge nerf in my life and its the worst feeling ever. i get jealous at other's success but i never have the courage to try for it myself, ive fumbled so many opportunities because of it

Kay- @virtualreality.engineer · 13/08/2025
finally got cpu upgrades for my server in today, tried to get the best possible single-threaded performance while still having enough threads to host multiple games ^^ were on 2x e5-2667v4's now, until i can build a newer platform server

Kay- @virtualreality.engineer · 08/08/2025
i waited all week for new cpus to come in, just to find out they arent supported by my server's motherboard, nor do they support dual cpu configurations at all fuck you intel and your fucked up confusing ass xeon SKUs

my center gpu fan nearly caught fire due to destroyed bearings last night, so i pulled it apart while drunk, removed the fan, and zip tied a case fan to it lmao... i think its time for an upgrade

nothing makes sense anymore

truth be told, once this project is over, and i can move to a different tool to replace the one i am having issues with, i can probably move over entirely and use it as my daily driver vr support is getting good, all of my other tools work without issues, etc.

Kay- @virtualreality.engineer · 21/07/2025
i gave linux a try for a week again, but unfortunately some critical tools i use don't have support, causing me to have to resort to windows for a huge chunk of my work right now its *so* close to being usable 99% for me though, its literally one tool
