Fuck Meta lol

Is it able to run regular Android apps? I’d imagine the entire graphics API is completely different.

The quest already runs android, so in theory all the support is already there for Vulkan and OpenGL since it runs a regular-ish Snapdragon phone SoC.

Yep. Runs regular sideloaded APKs including emulators.

Interesting. How does it display them visually? Is it, like, a floating window?
ijeff@lemdro.id · 4 pts · 2y
Pretty much!

Yeah on my Quest 3 I've sideloaded F-Droid, Jerboa, and ScummVM

Yo, VR Lemmy! :D

even without Jerboa, the website itself works well
the Quest's web browser is really good even for Twitch, Youtube, Discord

It's Android, yes

Why would anyone want either of those things?

Is there a way to un-meta the quests headsets ?

That would be really cool so the answer is likely no
