  With the development cycle for Ubuntu 26.10 officially underway, Canonical has published stonking/snapshot-1 . For early adopters, developers, and enthusiasts looking to ride the absolute edge of the open-source wave, the temptation to jump from the stable shores of 26.04 LTS, Resolute Raccoon, into the development stream is strong. Because the automated release pathways are not populated so early in the cycle, the standard do-release-upgrade -d tool will politely decline to find the new branch. To make the leap, we must step past the guardrails and manage our repository tracking manually. > Important Prerequisite: Upgrading to a day-one snapshot moves your environment into a highly experimental space.

How to Set Up SideQuest on Your Meta Quest

on

If you're looking to expand the capabilities of your Meta Quest VR headset, SideQuest is a fantastic tool to explore. It's a platform that offers a plethora of non-official games and apps, giving you access to a wide range of content beyond what's available in the official Oculus Store. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to get SideQuest up and running on your Meta Quest.


Before you start, you need to enable Developer Mode on your Meta Quest. Here's how:

Go to the Oculus Developer website and create an account.

Open the Oculus app on your smartphone, navigate to 'Settings,' then select your headset. Tap on 'More Settings' and toggle 'Developer Mode' on.



Next, you'll need to install the SideQuest application on your computer. 

Visit the official SideQuest website to download the latest version of the SideQuest app for your operating system.

Run the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install SideQuest on your computer.

With SideQuest installed, it's time to connect your Meta Quest to your computer.

Connect your Meta Quest to your computer using a USB-C cable.
Put on your headset and you should see a prompt asking if you want to allow USB debugging. Make sure to check 'Always allow from this computer' and hit 'OK'.

Now, with your Meta Quest connected and recognized by SideQuest, you're ready to start exploring.

Open the SideQuest app on your computer, or headset and explore the vast collection of apps and games. When you find something you like, click 'Install to Headset' to download it directly to your Meta Quest. 

After installation, you can find your new apps and games in the 'Unknown Sources' section of your Meta Quest library.

SideQuest opens up a new world of content for your Meta Quest, and setting it up is straightforward. Just remember to proceed with caution, as these are not officially sanctioned by Oculus and may vary in quality and security.
