[GTALUG] Oculus Quest now available

[Evan Leibovitch]

The Quest is a standalone device, not a peripheral.
Its native OS is highly-mutated Android so in that sense it is already
running under a Linux kernel and AOSP underpinnings.
To my knowledge (tho I may be wrong) there are no third-party Linux
distributions for it such as LineageOS.
Wine is irrelevant because it's an ARM rather than x86 device.
