if this succeeds, WMR headsets might be made Linux compatible and this will turn out to have been on-topic (www.change.org)

Petition: make WMR open source

Microsoft has stopped supporting WMR.

Please sign this petition to?open-source the software, so others can maintain it and prevent the perfectly good VR headsets becoming e-waste!

Valve actively maintains SteamVR and put in a lot of work for Linux compatibility. Doing that while open sourcing the software is hard. It adds work.

However, open sourcing an abandoned piece of software costs virtually nothing, and can be a big image boost.

You're wrong about open sourcing abandoned software being easy.

You have never used SteamVR on Linux, have you?
