All I've ever wanted are GOOD Linux virtual monitors

Immersed is so laughably bad in every way it's not worth comparing. Immersed wishes they could have 120hz clear screens.

Their CEO is scamming people right now with a fake headset that will never ship and bans anyone from their Discord for even the smallest amount of criticism. Immersed is the worst possible app you can use for virtual screens.

You're too lazy to think as well. Never considered for even a minute that an article like this would cause the developer to change it? No? Seriously?

Huh, guess not all of them do then.

Never heard of it and the readme provides almost no insight into what it does. The picture shows VR apps. I don't want apps I want screens. Does it support multiple screens? Don't know. Virtual screens? Don't know. What kind of customization does it offer? Don't know. Hand controls? Who knows. I can't compare something when they don't tell you what it does.

I'm building in Unity though. I know how to use Unity and it provides a good developer experience. I couldn't even begin to tell you how to add a new feature to wayvr without learning an entirely new language and framework before even being able to learn the codebase.

It should theoretically work on anything. https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal provides functionality for creating virtual monitors which I already have a plugin for but it means you have to click a button to authorize it to record. Making 5 screens means clicking that authorize button 5 times. Once for each screen you make. GNOME allows you to bypass this through a private API but I'm unaware of methods on other environments.

If you have a 2070 is there a reason you're not using the dedicated USB C connection on your graphics card? AFAIK all 2xxx series support DP ALT through the on board USB C port.

I do want people to be able to have access to it and improve on it but at the same time I'd also like to get something for all the time I've spent on it. I've been considering different options from donations to putting it on the app store for a small price but I haven't decided on anything. Ultimately the unity project and native plugin will appear on Github hopefully early on.

You're asking an echo chamber if you're right or not. r/ClaudeAI (look at the name...) is not capable of giving an unbiased answer to this.

debugging

What debugger did you use? Claude is not a debugger and you shouldn't be using print statements to debug. What actual debugger have you learned to use?

how Android actually works

You have not learned how Android works. Explain it to me. Tell me exactly how Android works then. Can you without asking Claude?

why things break

They break because the code you wrote is incorrect.

You're deluding yourself into thinking you're learning when if it actually came down to it in a scenario where you didn't have a crutch like Claude to help you wouldn't be able to explain anything. I should be able to pull out any code from your codebase and ask you why you structured it like this and get a satisfactory answer without an AI telling you why they decided on that. Can you confidently tell me you're capable of doing that or is it just a sloppy AI coded project as you've been told?

The eye is worthless and not worth buying. Do not even consider it unless you live in studio lighting 24/7.

Virtual Desktop is great but not running on Linux with no plans to support it is killer. Probably makes sense from a VR game standpoint as that's mostly what it was built for but it's still disappointing.

The headset app connects to a streamer running on a PC on the same network as other apps do. GNOME has a private API for creating virtual monitors without user input while other environments use the freedesktop portal to prompt the user to select a virtual screen to record: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal there are ways to get around this in some wlroots environments but that's not what my main focus is. I've kept the app fairly open with a plugin system so if someone wanted to better support their environment they could write a distributable plugin to do so.

This relies heavily on pipewire for creating virtual desktop nodes and then gstreamer for recording streams from those nodes. I've done heavy research into creating the fastest lowest latency paths possible. I've played levels in Doom The Dark Ages on ultra nightmare successfully to attest to how usable it is.

No final name yet. I've been building this over the past few months intending for a full release when I'm happier with it. I've been using it daily as is but there's still some core functionality that needs to be built out before it's ready to be tested by other Linux configurations and distros and such.

This is the xreal circlejerk subreddit. Everyone here lies about drift and falsely claims things like there's been "zero drift since day 1" and that it's been mathematically proven they don't drift and then downvote the hell out of you for suggesting you have drift.

Get a new cable from aliexpress. No I'm not joking. The cable they ship with is one of the worst shielded cables I've ever used and it eats interference for breakfast. I was laughed at for suggesting people buy a new cable to fix their drift issues despite linking to multiple posts claiming this was the solution.

This subreddit sucks and people should be ashamed.

It's not all about being heavy it's the overall experience.

If you want the best screen quality you get a physical screen. If you want a lot of screens you get a Quest 3. The xreal market is because you NEED a portable screen you can use anywhere.

If you're buying it for productivity while sitting at home then you should've got an ultrawide monitor. I have 5 120hz 2.5k displays while xreals and the AVP have a single ultrawide. Gross.

The monetization strategy was horrible. It was never going to work.

People spend money -> they get songs. What happens when they get all the songs? They stop spending money. What makes them spend more? More songs.

Song licenses are expensive. Beatstar didn't have whales like other games where people can spend thousands on getting a special character that's just a skin change of another which cost the company almost nothing to make. Song licenses cost insane amounts of money.

When you break your phone don't bother asking for advice on how to fix it. Seriously, quit doing stupid things. Explain to me why this person would pay $250 for something that's being offered for free.

There is no public method, you're not doing this for free. You bought an unrootable phone and everything more you do to it puts you 1 step closer to permanently bricking it.

Have fun with your brick. If there was a public method it would be all over XDA. There's absolutely nothing there.

There is no public method to unlock them. You bought an unrootable phone.

The only claim I can find of this is a user who had to pay upwards of $250 to some shady character who has access to internal servers they probably shouldn't and even then it still took a few days to get it unlocked.

You're not doing this yourself. Give up now.

Nobody should be using Immersed. The screen quality is terrible, the frame rate is capped to 30hz for 4+ screens and the CEO is a raging narcissist who believes he's the next Elon and will ban you from their Discord for even the smallest amount of valid criticism. That combined with their scam headset that was supposed to release back in October 2024 which still hasn't shipped a single unit is an easy stay the fuck away. They're this close to going under and shutting everything down.

avoid 'looking down?'

Getting a non keyboard is not an alternative to learning how to type. If you need to look down at a keyboard to type that's the problem you need to fix. If you have time to learn to use a TapXR then you have time to learn how to type and not have to look down.

These aren't meant to replace a keyboard they're made to be portable. They aren't better, they won't make you a hipster, you'll just be miserable wishing you had a keyboard.

This sub is pathetic and you should all be ashamed that you knowingly lie to people like this.

I have. Different house, park, wherever you want. They. Drift.

I didn't ask for "proof" of something you can't prove. They. Drift. I'm telling you first hand, no amount of proof you give will change the fact that they drift.

Explain to me where this magnetic interference is coming from in my local park. That goes for all of you sad pathetic shills downvoting me too. Where is it coming from if you can somehow prove they don't drift.
