Give me some time, and I'll be the first VR distro.

You can install Ubuntu on a Nintendo switch btw. Why would you want this? Idk. Why would you want Ubuntu on anything? We suck.

as the new guy on the block, i picked a good time to step away and relieve burnout if this is going down.

nahw little one, you dont even have to ask, of cou-

hey quick question, why did you rb from them?

[zipp-os-official]

welp, looks like the advisary beat me to it.

[zipp-os-official]

why the fuck is there security keys on the fucking IC chips?!

@archlinux-official an alpha demo will be open to the public for testing when I feel like it is stable enough for advanced users to enjoy. Right now the hardware I currently own is a Meta Quest 3, so that's what I am going to be focusing on for production.

With this in mind, this will be my first OS, so please be paitent as I brave this new frontier.

Starting Production🎉🥂

ZippOS is an alternate operating system for stand alone “spacial computing” devices. The goal of this project is to provide end users, who at their own discression, void their warranties to replace pre-packaged software bundled with their hardware. As the lead developer of ZippOS, and as an end user of a “spacial computer”, I am displeased with the current operating software, and the decisions of parent companies that distribute these products are inheriently unstable, brown-nosing share holders and consumers, and completely unaligned with the end users. As these devices are marketed as computers, I want to provide software for said computers as a choice for the end-users who feel the same as I do.

ZippOS will be a lighter(get it?), faster booting operating system built from scratch with Rust-Lang and some ARM/RISC-V assembly code to replace both the BIOS (ZIOS) and the operating system. The operating system’s goal is to have the same user functionality and multimedia multi-instancing in a mixed reality setting, citing BeOS/HaikuOS as inspiration. This operating system will have security and graceful degradation as the main focus for user safety because the main enemy for ZippOS is the companies who made the stock software it replaces on the end-user’s spacial computer. Users can also enjoy various stimulating options for navigating the software (i.e. “rolodex” style hub menus, table-top program/application storefront, “grabbing” and “throwing” programs/screens to be cast/mirrored to and from realspace and cyberspace, etc). ZippOS is a project software operating system under development, and currently has no plans to publicly publish to the open net, nor are there any current plans to open-source the software.

I will set the world on fire, even if I burn myself.

Hello everyone!

This project is to make an alternate operating system for the "spacial computing" hardware that is entering the market. For these headsets to call themselves "computers", they need to behave like computers, and with that they need to be avalible to boot into different operating systems.

The goal of ZippOS is to be a smaller, lighter BIOS/OS that is focused on optimizing existing hardware for the purpouse of creating a more "computer-like" experience rather than just being a vessel for an app store.

My focus will be on the Meta Quest 3 since that is the hardware I own. If you ask for support on something else, please send the hardware so I can test it, or contact me to test it yourself and send feedback.

Yes, this does violate EULA. No, I don't care. 😎
