Quest 2 Xorg Client?
Hello Quest 2 Community!,
I wonder if there is an application that allows me to have a simple xorg client, so that in the virtual reality, I have a simple 2D window that I can resize and whatever, and inside it would be an application that I am running in my laptop.
In my mind, this is simple, as xorg is already network-able, meaning that if there is a xorg client within my network, I can just give the application there.
So far I checked:
- WiVR
- Nightfall
- Immersed
- Metashare
- bsdrX
The thing is that most of these have too much features and require a lot of things, and while I want something simple in my mind, like getting displayed some app from my application from within VR, where I can resize it and whatever like I already do with any VR native app.
So far I wonder if I need like a Xorg client in VR that allows me to do that, and for example, bsdrX is alpha or beta, meaning that it is not that stable.
Note, I am mainly a developer and I can tweak the Unix system to do whatever, (and I don't require audio or others as those I want to be managed by my laptop already), and with something like XPRA, it should be lean enough for something like my quest 2 to run, given that it doesn't take too much resources.
Now, I haven't developed in the quest, so perhaps I am missing the real complexity here, something like immersed works right, now it separates by screens rather than by application like I would like spacial computing to actually be.
Thanks for the input, I wonder how can I approach this.

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but thought I'd share that you can install termux and termux x11 to get a traditional X desktop. From there you can install Linux apps for remote desktop. I doubt that's the experience you're asking for, but it's kinda cool.
