I hope they add the ability to turn the computer on even if it is completely shut off. That would make keeping my family’s computers updated much easier.

That’s probably not possible, but you could do it with a microcontroller and a relay bridging the power switch.

I have not had luck with vr (oculus. I hear index does better).

Which oculus headset do you have? If its a Quest then ALVR is the way to go. The wired only ones dont really work. If you want to see your desktop in vr, then you can use WlxOverlay-S for that.
