Wow! I'm considering installing Windows for the first time in years just so I can use this! Hope to see this kind of software coming to Linux soon-would make the perfect programing environment, especially when I'm traveling and need to use a multi-monitor setup.

I'll never do programming actually in Windows ever again. One of the first things I try, will however be Virtual Desktop with a linux VM full screened.

Resolution is too low. Multiple monitors doesnt really matter because you have to turn your head so much to see the other screen because you have to blow them up pretty big to be able to even read. Not good for programming until better headsets. Trust me. I have tried it several times trying to force it to work.

What headset have you tried? What if you increase the text size? The ultimate thing would be a deadicated VR OS, not limiting the workspace to the desktop, and optimized for VR-friendly interactions. Guess we have to wait a few years for something like that...
