No new features today, just wanted to make a short post.
It is completely possible to do linux development on the go!
Is it convenient? Probably not.
Is a laptop better? Most likely.
Is it funny? Yes.
Also a double table is definitely better:
While we are mostly focused on Linux mobile development, it is easy to overlook that all you need is a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and it becomes an (albeit tiny) linux desktop!
Its gonna look nerdy as shit but Id love the steam frame for a portable dev station
Bruh you’re coding in public just embrace the nerdiness at that point hehe
I’m holding off on monitor upgrades in the hopes that the steam frame could be used as a super monitor.
I used my quest like this for work for a while when my monitor was broken. I couldn’t recommend it less. Supremely uncomfortable, and I’ve spent way too much money improving the ergonomics on that piece of spyware garbage.
Setting ergonomics aside, how was the use ability? Text reading, window positioning etc. Worthwhile as a concept with current hardware if the ergo issues could be solved?
Nope, it’s quite blurry. Good for watching video but not for reading.
I think that we’re going to be multiple generations of HMDs away from enough resolution to do text as well as today’s monitors, unless someone gives up on having it projected into 3D space.
There was an article from someone critiquing it a while back, talking about some of the issues with the Apple Vision Pro (a rather expensive, high-resolution HMD) as a monitor replacement.
