Is there any up-to-date method to keep the Meta Quest 3 as privacy friendly as possilbe? I know it can’t be made perfect, but maybe some known working block lists etc.?

i’m thinking about getting one but their data hoarding is the reason i don’t want to. Unless i can somehow make it less invasive.

    “limitations” - I couldn’t auto-update apps or the OS, I considered that a feature. I didn’t do anything besides use VR Desktop and try and fail to use ALVR, that all worked fine. ALVR didn’t work because SteamVR on Linux is hot garbage, not because of my DNS blocking.

      Good to know - thanks for the feedback!

      So the Quest 2 works to this day with those DNS blocks? You use SteamLink now i assume? Or you ever got ALVR working?

      When looking up the Valve Index i don’t see that many issues with SteamVR on Linux?

        Steamvr on linux seems nice if you have the index, but is hit or miss with other headsets, at least that’s what ive heard

        I got rid of the Q2 a couple months ago but never had issues.

        I used Virtual Desktop, not SteamLink

        You don’t see a lot of issues because the few people who ever used SteamVR on Linux ran away screaming and never came back¹

        ¹I made that up, but it’s bad
