You had my attention, now you have my interest
Comment on After a year in its company, I’ve done a complete 180 on my Steam Deck

And, well, it’s the only headset making any claims about Linux compatibility, which is also a big thing for me.
But your concern is the exact reason I’m not sure I can recommend it.
Of course, Valve works on Valve Time, so the chances Deckard will release next month are basically the same as it releasing anytime in the next decade.

I actually spend a lot more time on PSVR2 than Index these days, and when I do switch back to Index, I kinda miss some of the features.
If money is no object, I think the current best arrangement is probably something like a Bigscreen Beyond with Audio Strap, Index controllers, and the requisite lighthouses. But that’s about $1600 compared to the PSVR2, which was on sale for $350 over the holidays. The games are generally more polished, but you also don’t have the bonkers modding scene like PCVR does. You can run PSVR2 on the PC now, but most of the best features stop working. So there really isn’t a perfect solution.

Yeah, it does look pretty nice, but no Linux support, especially at this price, makes it a no-go for me. :(

I wouldn’t even consider a headset that has under 120hz refresh. Huge downgrade

I’m by no means a huge VR user but I find the PSVR2 rendering based on your focus point to be a really neat feature for that reason.
Wherever you’re looking gets full resolution. Things in your perifory get downscaled. This helps the headset maintain max FPS at the full Hz.
Note: I don’t own one, I just think the tech for that is near.

I’m actually surprised the BB is only 90 Hz. I’m not that much of a stickler for it, but I get it.
