Thanks for your explanation! Please let me know if you succeed with your Reverb G2.

Their changelog on one of their last releases says

Added WinMR driver, it supports most headsets and controllers. Controllers can be connected both via host-Bluetooth and tunneled with the onboard radio chip. By default has 3DoF tracking, it can do 6DoF if used with the Basalt SLAM tracking software. Distortion is there but doesn’t work perfectly on all hardware, best results is on Reverb G2.

This isn’t really understandable for me as a VR newbie ;)

Edit: Maybe I’ll just get a Vive/Vive pro. They’re also cheap and probably enough to try it out without hours of hassle

Looks like Lenovo got a lot right with their Steam OS device. Competetive price and interesting specs.

Would be cool if they would ship with Steam OS, but apparently they don’t.

I’d also guess that it runs linux. But likely in a very closed, proprietary way.

Maybe this device can be jailbroken and used for other purposes … but apart from the interesting controller, I’d rather pick a device that can run the OS of my choice without much hassle.

Does this have anything to do with linux gaming? Looks more like a proprietary game console than a portable linux PC.
