> the Virtual Desktop app which might be good, but I didn't feel like paying for it at the moment. Virtual Desktop has a ton of features, but only permits one virtual display. For me, the unlimited virtual displays with unconstrained resolution offered by the free SteamVR overlay Desktop+ is the best way to work. Seems plenty sharp to me, and not limited to 1080p resolution like Meta Remote Desktop. I can pop browser tabs into their own floating windows separate from my main virtual displays, and set up a floating portrait window for discord or slack. Immersed is a non-starter for me bc of their subscription requirement to have anything approaching a decent monitor setup. Their sales tactics and YouTube spam are also a turnoff. It’s also nowhere near as customizable as what I was describing above, which has been fantastic.

Is this the one you meant? https://store.steampowered.com/app/1494460/Desktop/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1494460/Desktop/ It's actually the option I tried because SteamVR itself was too blurry to be readable, however I ended up with a weird issue where the mouse cursor wasn't visible, no matter what I tried. That said, the Immersed marketing feels very... I'm not sure, brand heavy, as opposed to just "here's a cool tool, hope it serves you with great utility", even if it mostly fits the other category in my mind? In my case it works out nicely even without virtual screens because I have 4 1080p monitors, but honestly, I already pay for JetBrains IDEs and the likes of MobaXTerm, so I could imagine throwing some money their way, even if their coworking/social aspects do rub me slightly the wrong way. But hey, I'm just happy to find anything that gives me passable visual quality, though I wonder if getting a better GPU or overriding the bitrate limits might improve things, or maybe supersampling.
