From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've only used steamVR headsets myself, but there is OpenHMD which enables at least some functionality on headsets such as the CV1.
The hard part is the 6DOF tracking. Gyros and accelerometers are easy, but constellation or SLAM tracking is another matter entirely, and all the existing code for that stuff is proprietary so it has to re-implemented.
Outputting an image signal, also easy, accounting for the optics on a given set to correct for lens distortion, hard.
I think the CV1 or the PSVR HMDs are the furthest along, and I don't see any WMR HMDs supported I'm afraid.
Man you really could have just said "no"
