I had the Oculus quest DK2 before oculus was bought by Facebook and enjoyed playing whatever people made, but the more Facebook locked everything down the less interested I became in VR.

Now you can’t even play with a quest unless you have a Facebook account, and it seems so easy to get locked out of your account on purpose or accidentally.

Are there unlocked VR headsets that I can just have fun with instead of being locked into one company and their products?

Thanks

    If you use it the official way, you will need a steam account to make it work since it is a steamVR headset. It can also work with Monado, an OpenXR runtime, but support is not quite complete. LVRA is a great source of information about linux VR. To my knowledge, both Oculus VR runtime and SteamVR will require accounts to use.
