“We’re being so generous by allowing other hardware manufacturers to buy into our closed walled-garden data mining system that could boot their company out of the market at a moments notice!”
Linux is fun until you run into random issues. I don’t mess around with my fun laptop so I don’t hit any Windows issues. If I were on Linux I’d have to know more about my system. Messing around with compatibility, configs, and Libre Software philosophies causing intentional problems is for my Nix server setup only lol
Woah, not sure what you ran into, but my install process was to check the box that I was a developer and side load the adb package. I’ve been streaming a dozen games from my EndeavourOS PC for a few weeks now with no issues.
Anecdotal of course, clearly your milage has varied.
It was a while ago, but I think it stopped operating normally for my wife’s account, and I had issues adding myself as a second user (not the device owner) with dev access.
The nonsense where I had to get permission from meta to take control of my own hardware was utterly absurd. It was 1000x harder than tapping a button 8 times.
To check that box, you first need to sign up to the developer portal and pair the headset to your account. It wasn’t even my headset. I just wanted to connect it to Steam on my PC.
In future, I would be looking into something that behaves more like a peripheral device. It should be no harder to connect than a gamepad.
Agreed. It sounds like most of your issues were just that you weren’t the primary user account. If you had done all this under hers it should have been pretty easy. I got mine second hand from my sister after the caught it on fire and I managed to repair it, had the same issues until I factory reset and set up an account for myself.
So it the plan to go with the Google or Microsoft’s model?
Will third parties be able to customize whatever they want, like with Android, or is the user experience going to be strictly controlled, like with Windows?
