The Alternate Meta Quest Operating System

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.

@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.

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.
