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)

Do you think buying and using a meta quest is immoral
you can try using oculess to disable telemetry and maybe even remove fb from the headset if you manage to score a v41 or lower headset and use only oculus link/virtual desktop or alvr or any wireless vr streaming to use it with steamvr
