It really is - and on the topic of "competition"..
Meta is not a competitor to Simula and honestly never will be because they will never give you Freedom to run Linux and hack to your heart's content.
But Simula is a competitor to Meta in that their existence gives people like me a serious (non-toy) VR headset they'd actually buy. So the reason Meta has competition from Simula is because they're terrible from a consumer-privacy and -respect perspective.
- MikusR 4y agoQuest runs Android and Android run on Linux.
- selfhoster11 4y agoSo? Android is Linux only in the most technical sense, but not in the sense most people care about. - you’re not free to switch distros like you can with conventional Linux hardware - you cannot run a conventional Linux userland except for sad parodies of it that work out of a “chroot” - X11 and Wayland support is limited Android is diet Linux, not the real thing.
- whateveracct 4y agoThat's only technically correct. I'd say given the words I said around "Linux," your response is pedantic at best. Android is in no way what I want. And is it Open and Free? Can I do whatever I want with it? Can I install NixOS Mobile? Jailbreaking doesn't count since we are talking about official product offerings. If I can't run my own software from source + make my device completely decoupled from Meta, it isn't a competitor of Simula to me.
