    Is it able to run regular Android apps? I’d imagine the entire graphics API is completely different.

      Yeah on my Quest 3 I’ve sideloaded F-Droid, Jerboa, and ScummVM

          even without Jerboa, the website itself works well

          the Quest’s web browser is really good even for Twitch, Youtube, Discord

      The quest already runs android, so in theory all the support is already there for Vulkan and OpenGL since it runs a regular-ish Snapdragon phone SoC.

      Yep. Runs regular sideloaded APKs including emulators.

        Interesting. How does it display them visually? Is it, like, a floating window?
