I would like to switch to Linux completely.
Including Usage of PIMAX Headset. I would even pay for a life time linux driver license to support the development. It would stabilize business in a multipolar world, to be able to use my PIMAX 8KX (happy to have it still) with Linux.

No Linux support yet? Okay that makes it easy, I go with Steam Frame then. See you in 10 years maybe.
your argument is valid. One may wait foreverā¦
But I do not want to use headsets with less than Pimax 8KX HFoV about real 140-ish degrees.
Currently, as far as my 8KX works, no downgrades from my side.
So, Steam Frame is no alternative, like most other current VR headsets.
Currently XTAL headset with truly high HFoV seems only to be āavailableā and with linux support, still a little bit āexpensiveā yet, even a NV 5090 may not be enough.
LetĀ“s not speak about other vapor ware like Pimax 12KX.
I still hope for some āworkaroundsā to make use of Pimax headsets with linux. Never tried the monado/wayland workaround with enforced direct-mode yet, need to give it a try.
In addition to, a lot of good tools like Whirligig etc. have no native linux support. the tweakin will not end. I do not have that time to spare, I need a quick and easy solution. Sounds detrimetal to linux, isnĀ“t it?

I for my part accept, that this is not a viable company. What I do not accept is never ending hacks, workarounds and partially functional open source tools as opposed to vendor support.
The time of high resolution on Linux is simply not here yet. Itās only a hand full of scenarios where it is worth it anyway. Primax is just off my radar now just as simple as that.
No hard feelings. Closing this tab now 
Have a wonderful time in VR and RL!
Pimax needs to address an EDID issues. It reports incorrect checksum. See Community pimax branch of Monado. There is a workaround the community has created to quirk the kernel driver patch but needs to be applied after each PC reboot. So it is in the works on both pimax and community side.
It should be interesting to see which side achieves it first.
There is a user on Reddit who did get his Dream Air working to turn on displays but no distortion profile loaded and fps was low.
Well then you probably donāt like WMR with the Oasis driver that now also works on Linux as it is not from any vendor as MS completely abandoned WMR.
Hi, is Linux support planned for this year?
At this late in the year and the EDID checksum issue. I doubt we will see any traction this year. At a guess maybe at the earliest next Summer
Though I would like to be wrong. Meaning earlier
