    So they want to be the Microcrap of the VR world?

    Nah I’m good, let me know when we get a Linux of the VR world

      That would be Valve‘s Deckard, I suppose. Would be nice if that would materialize at some point soon.

      But even a „windows equivalent“ HorizonOS would be an improvement in the standalone headset space if that meant I could choose between HMD vendors and carry over all my software.

        Its probably great but when you need to set up a specific room, it makes it inaccessible for most people

          ??? You don’t need a specific room. Quest doesn’t need any beacons or wires.

          I don’t like Facebook, never had a Facebook account and refused to buy their VR until they removed the Facebook account requirement 2 years ago.

          But the hardware is excellent for the price. Facebook is selling the hardware at a loss and making it up in software sales. So you are hurting Facebook by buying their hardware and using it with Steam.

        That is not what I was referring to. Meta loves to invade our privacy like Microcrap

        Sadly SteamVR needs a large open space to work effectively which makes it inaccessible to the vast majority.
