Could you build this?

No Integrating a multi-screen Linux desktop environment (KDE Plasma) with VR runtimes (SteamVR) and custom 3D input devices requires low-level graphics and driver expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires OpenVR/OpenXR integration in C++, Wayland/KWin compositor extensions, shared memory texture sharing (EGL/Vulkan), and custom USB/HID driver handling for 3D mouse emulation within VR space. Demands deep knowledge of XR tracking, Linux graphics pipelines, and spatial window management.
