I use Arch as my daily driver, for me it’s the near to perfection Linux distribution. Arch Linux it’s not for beginners, it’s not intended to, it requires a more mature approach but it gives the user lots of independence and freedom for customization, and last but not least the community is pretty active.

After trying to get the best configuration on Linux for the Rift DK2, I came up with some results using a specific X.Org configuration, and a bunch of bash scripts, so now I’m able to emulate the Direct Mode behavior supported by the Windows driver.

Oculus is discontinuing the support for Linux and Mac with the latest the version of its SDK (0.6.0.0 which is supported by Windows only at this time. The new Compositor Service is one of the major changes after direct to rift mode but is available on Windows only.

During my job for Big Company (BC) they asked me to analyze HTTP (clear) traffic and then to reproduce the captured traffic for testing purposes.

I had a VPS at my disposal with Ubuntu. The best way to analize traffic on the top of my mind is Wireshark. Wireshark is a protocol analyzing software with lua embedded in it, lua can be used as a scripting language to make Wireshark do whatever I needed.
