Just commenting, Valve Index (open) and then something like Simula VR (VR desktop) gives you 360 sphere around you open applications eg. editor/browser.

I feel you about VRChat I felt the same (felt old/out of place). Recently tried Zenith bunch of kids. Nothing wrong with that but yeah.

I personally am avoiding meta because I hate that locked in, it's why I'm trying to get into Linux phones over Android (problems with privacy/built in bloat/adware).

As far as an environment for VR like the meta verse, my opinion I think it's a niche right now, guess depends who's around you/your circles. Maybe it's not as rare. Maybe in the future everyone will have a headset like everyone has a phone.

I'm not super against FB though, I found my family (separated long time ago) through their platform so I am grateful for that.
