This! I bought the dev kit 2 due to Linux support. I don't do windows and now the stupid kit is just sitting, need to trash it. I'm never supporting Oculus again.

I ended up demanding a refund for mine, it arrived the same week that they announced they were discontinuing their Linux SDK.

To be fair, they did release the hardware specs under a good license https://github.com/facebookarchive/RiftDK2.

The source code for the optical tracking software was never released though. So instead of "trashing" it, I suggest donating it to OpenHMD, so someone else can use it for developing optical tracking.

You could always ship that Dev Kit 2 over to me. I'll put it to good use! ;]
