Valve Launches Official Steam Link PC VR Streaming App on Quest

They also achieve very low latency, I didn't follow every single optimization they added but it basically boils down to a few encoding tricks (better image in the center, accept blurriness in the peripheral vision), good network infrastructure, and hardware decoding / encoding being really fast.

VR Gaming on Linux is hard ( for me )
To use steamvr on flatpak I used this tutorial . There was a disclaimer that nvidia GPUs are not supported, but the guy that suggested it has a 3090, so it might work for me too.

AMD Graphics Driver related issue with VR
They have a Wiki page on GitHub with a settings tutorial and troubleshooting. A downside with a lot of open-source software is that it's relatively difficult to setup but it might fix some of your issues.

Unsure of switching to Linux
Quest 2 needs some workarounds (dev mode account), but once you've done those you can just install ALVR (I recommend nightly). As for the games, check ProtonDB. Some VR games (Pavlov beta, for example) have EAC that blocks proton. Some VR games don't work with ALVR due to https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/issues/1392, like the Pavlov beta and Crawlspace. Just install the proprietary NVIDIA drivers and use Xorg and most things should work fine. Steam has Proton, which lets you play Windows games with high performance.
- is there another software I can use to connect my quest 2 to steamvr? (not the oculus app or virtual desktop either)

Third-party application / method for previewing contents of virtual desktops?
Not strictly AHK related, but I have a small script that uses VirtualDesktop by MScholtes to manage my virtual desktops. Nothing fancy atm, just ctrl+alt+numpad to change desktops. But I do have a problem, I can't always remember which desktop has what stuff in it! So I was wondering if there is something like win+tab that gives a preview of what there is in each desktop.

Is there a way to switch to a specific virtual desktop with one shortcut?
This plus Autohotkey or something like that

Can someone help me with quoting paths inside variables?
Pardon me, for not getting back to your in a more timely manner. hecktick weekend. Escaping characters is always a PITA no matter the language, in the case of AHK escaping quotes is awful as you escape a quote with a quote. Would believe if I told you I spent an entire day on just to realise this, between powershell and Autohotkey. I am very glad to know the feeling is mutual and it was not just me being stupid imo. Your solution was just what I needed, I am soon to be among one of the cool kids. Also that Function is amazing! Now, as powerful as PowerShell is (pun intended), is super slow compared to AHK (being a wrapper around .NET, worst if is the first run) and AHK can do most of what PS does: I did not know this, makes sense though. This was mostly an exercise on trying to do the things AHK does really well with PowerShell and just generally future prosperity between AHK and PowerShell interoperability. Text: awful virtual desktop feature really well. There was this AHK script that did this too but it got broken due to API changes in windows 11. This the module
