Indie Game Dev, Airplane pilot, Drummer. Cats lover. Opinions are my own. Ex Wanadev, Novelab. Current work: OpenBlood2, Open Dark Basic, OpenXR on MacOS

[Yannick Comte @cyannick]

Another release today: OXRSys Runtime (previously OpenXR OSX Runtime) 1.1.0 is out, things are easier than ever! https://t.co/OEOA0cRGeG
- Configurable refresh rate, thanks @NicholasClooney for that!
- Home app that will let you run VR apps without command line, USB mode on Quest, streaming statistics, developer mode, simulator and more
- USB mode for Meta Quest (not tested on Pico), reduced latency, not perfect, but so much better than Wifi, it's very OK for a developer
- Unreal Engine 5.7 support using my forked plugin https://t.co/isAzIfLwCU

New features will come soon, I want to see if I can fork
- UEVR to let us play Unreal games in VR even on Mac
- Wine to let us play Windows OpenXR games on Mac

[Yannick Comte @cyannick]

I'm adding a lot of clean and solid features to oxrsys for MacOS and Linux
- Better controller recognition: Quest 1 to 3 + Pico 3 to 4
- Feature parity between the Xcode Home (MacOS) and the Qt Home (Everywhere)
- Custom adb path
- Standardized version numbers
- PRs from maintainers

I'm going to release a new version on Friday with all of that, then I'll start to finally add Windows support. Then... it'll time to implement new OpenXR extensions like passthrough and other cool stuff. I also want to add more control on the streaming settings, like ALVR.

@SteveTalkowski @Apple @A24 @Kanepixels7 That lighting <3

[Yannick Comte @cyannick]

@yak32 It's nice, but you can't compare that to Matrix demo.
- You can't move to close to an object
- The framerate is inconsistant
- There is no gameplay, audio, vfx, story or anything

GS are interesting, but we've a long path before we can use it in games

Can't wait a 4bit mlx variant to try this on my Macbook Air M5

Today we’re introducing Gemma 4 12B — our latest open model that brings advanced agentic reasoning, vision and audio directly to your laptop.

It delivers performance nearing our larger Gemma models with a much smaller total memory footprint, while being small enough to run locally with just 16GB of VRAM. It’s open and accessible for everyone to use under a permissive Apache 2.0 license.

This is all made possible by our new, unified architecture that removes separate multimodal encoders. Here’s how we did it 🧵

@tetrisgm Winget is already here

Just replace Windows by Linux

[Xeno @XenoPanther]

Coreutils coming to Windows!

[Yannick Comte @cyannick]

@HoshinoSaikyo What do you mean by partially?

[Yannick Comte @cyannick]

Microsoft should make a Linux desktop distribution for customers and pros.

[It's FOSS @Itsfoss]

The company that once called Linux a "cancer" is now the one shipping its core tools to Windows users.

Microsoft just shipped GNU coreutils for Windows.

ls. grep. cat. cp. find. The same commands that have powered Unix and Linux systems for over 50 years are now available natively on Windows, maintained by Microsoft itself.

For context: GNU coreutils are the foundational utilities that every Linux and macOS system relies on for basic file operations, text processing, and shell scripting. They are the bedrock of Unix computing. Tens of millions of scripts, pipelines, and workflows run on them every day.

And now Microsoft is shipping and maintaining a build of them for Windows.

This is not WSL. You do not need a Linux subsystem running in the background. These tools run natively on Windows, with the exact same flags and behavior as on Linux. Your existing scripts just work.

Microsoft's goal: make moving between Linux, macOS, WSL, containers, and Windows completely frictionless. Write a script once. Run it anywhere.

The package bundles uutils/coreutils (a modern Rust rewrite of GNU coreutils), findutils, and grep into a single multi-call binary. Every command supports standard flags. Same commands, same pipelines, no translation needed.

The project is still in preview. But the direction is unmistakable.

@hthieblot https://t.co/tHF20tt5iY an old French pokemon website with scanned cards at that time.

[Yannick Comte @cyannick]

@TrisH0x2A He's right

[Yannick Comte @cyannick]

@wittgensteinien J'imagine que ça sera pricé un peu en dessous d'un Macbook Pro Max pour "concurrencer"

[Yannick Comte @cyannick]

@UlrichRozier C'est une histoire de thunes, Nvidia veux la thune des particuliers encore plus avec l'IA local en pretexte. Je ne me fais pas de soucis pour Apple par exemple. Et j'espère qu'on pourra installer Linux sur ce matos, qui est d'ailleurs très utilisé en IA.. à l'inverse de Windows

OpenClaw, Security, Enterprise, Windows, Microsoft 🧐

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

Microsoft has announced an optimized Windows 11 experience to help developers build and ship faster.

>Coreutils for Windows brings Linux-like command line utilities that run natively on Windows.

>WSL containers provide a built-in way to create, run, and interact with Linux containers using familiar command line and API tools.

>The Intelligent Terminal adds context-aware intelligence directly into the terminal to debug errors and handle multi-step tasks while keeping you in flow.

>Windows Developer Configurations, powered by WinGet, let you set up a distraction-free development environment with VS Code, GitHub Copilot, WSL, PowerShell 7, and optimized settings using a single command on any Windows 11 device.

>OpenClaw has announced a partnership with Microsoft to bring its AI agent capabilities to the Microsoft and Windows ecosystems.

Companies can now run OpenClaw securely inside their enterprise environments.

[Yannick Comte @cyannick]

How many time before we can run Linux on that?

[Microsoft @Microsoft]

Introducing @Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, a compact developer PC engineered with NVIDIA RTX Spark silicon and built on the Windows developer platform, designed for local-first AI development. #MSBuild

[Yannick Comte @cyannick]

Avoid SSAO + SSR in VR on that GPU :D

[Yannick Comte @cyannick]

This is oxrsys-linux! The runtime now works natively on Linux and the qt frontend for the home is almost complete. The simulator allows to try and of course the Quest streaming (wifi + usb) is working too...
The godot scene runs on an old Vega GPU :)
I've to polish that, next is Windows

[Yannick Comte @cyannick]

That's a good one :-)

[Jonathan Schack @el_xaber]

@_MaxBlade The hardware is impressive, but coupling it with Windows and Copilot is like putting a Ferrari engine in a car that reports your GPS coordinates, speed, and biometrics to the dealer in real time and won't start without their permission.

[Yannick Comte @cyannick]

It looks like a Macbook right? So the new era of PC are Macbook right? I hope it'll be possible to install Linux, this is probably the real game changer.

[Zac Bowden @zacbowden]

Well hello there, Surface Laptop Ultra! First impressions are simple: Get this one

[Yannick Comte @cyannick]

@CongoCart @nafonsopt I don't have the choice ;-) otherwise I use git + gitlfs. I hate gitlfs, but I hate perforce more

[Yannick Comte @cyannick]

I always found that git was terrible for Unreal. Today I work with Perforce, I hate it so much.... Git was fine after all
