Have to say I am very excited for the VR offering. Apart from playing games, being able to run Linux on this thing and connecting a bluetooth keyboard/mouse for productivity seems amazing to be honest.

But I’ll wait for reviews. I realize this is SteamOS, not a regular Linux distro. It’s an immutable distro, and it wasn’t really designed for productivity. And I do have my doubts on how well Linux can work on a VR environment so let’s see.
