I would assume it actually becomes reducing cost, if anything?

these aren't normal users. linux users choose what others may see as sub-par UX every day because we value other things. and they'll fix it themselves; it's not an apple-style top-down relationship, and I expect it'll iterate fast.

Using a usb-c cable right now to connect immersed directly to laptop. I have 1ms latency, using two 2k screens. I'm only limited to that resolution because more than that the pixel density on the quest 2 isn't quite good enough imo, but I can also do dual 4k.

I don't know your computer specs ofc. Mine are pretty beefy (11th gen i9, a 4lb p1 gen 4). But it runs smoothly even when I switch to battery saver and turn off my gpu (with 1 4k screen as a result).

I dunno. this is a nice story, but at the end of the day an android phone is just a slightly tweaked linux box. The buttons are a little bigger, the small screen is optimized for one window at a time, and there's a pop up keyboard...

They are specifically designing a VR-based window manager here. And it's linux and a community of hackers, and open source. I think you'll see community imitations and tweaks and improvements on the apple formula as an option almost immediately.

the iphone 1 sold 6.1 million units.

over 20 million quest 2s have been sold (ignoring all the other headsets...)

Most people would agree, but some people are early adopters and have different risk profiles. I'm typing this from a virtual desktop experience using a quest 2 looking at 2 giant VR 2k displays, 1ms latency connected to my laptop through a usb-c cable (if you have good wifi the latency is good enough for wireless, but my airbnb wifi is meh, and the wired doesn't bother me).

I worked like this for more than 12 hours yesterday, too.

I strongly considered their product and found it very tempting. Not a perfect fit for me, so I didn't go for it in the end, but you have to realize the world is not full of a bunch of clones of you.
