    Very creative!

    Does anyone else besides me suspect X11 will outlive visionOS?

    >3D in 2D in 3D. OpenGL clients can use GLX rendering over X11. Compatibility varies, as it did in the 2000s.

    Made me chuckle. I think at one point in my life I actually knew which exact GL versions and features were working on which servers. Also it's pretty cool.

    Still won't buy an AVP.

      why not? Personally, I tried but the crap with my prescription because I wear glasses was too much, so I didn't end up getting one because I fail at executive function.

    I can't believe the screenshot isn't running xeyes. At least it is TWM.

      Right. The only thing I want to know is do the xeyes follow you around the room!?

      Apps don’t get access to gaze position on the Vision Pro, for privacy/security reasons.

    Seem to be unavailable in German App Store?…

      Lots of individual / hobbyist developers are no longer publishing to the EU App Store due to Digital Services Act regulation and compliance.

    WayVR is also worth checking out, if you're interested in using a native x11/Wayland desktop with a headset on Linux: https://github.com/wayvr-org/wayvr

    May I ask what the recommendation is at the moment if I want a Linux AR headset that can take prescription lenses (or accommodate glasses)? I'd like to write my own code but not have to beg somebody else to let me run it.

      Meta Quest, but treat it as a dumb headset with ALVR?

    Interesting. I wonder if it's based on Xorg or something else

    On that note, anybody has rayneo air4 pro working with x11?

    Neat, it would be cool if it also worked on the Quest.
