Steam does a lot of things right here, but also some things wrong, which is unfortunately a dealbreaker for me.

I read the specs and got excited, until I read about the resolution. 2160x2160 is what I have now with the Pico 4, and while it's ok for entertainment, and acceptable for browsing and reading, it's far too low for professional work.

Linux would have been great, but I can't justify spending money on a headset with exactly the same low resolution as my current one.

Also, I've become used to color passthrough, and going back to monochrome would feel like a big regression.



To be fair its obviously not meant for professional work

Valve is a game company


I don't think any VR headset is good for professional work due to the focal plane mismatch which causes eye strain with long term use. Unless you like using a computer with a screen 4 feet away. For most people that's pretty uncomfortable for productivity work.
