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)

found a gear vr in the attic, I have a note 20 ultra (doubt it will fit) and a s22+, what are my options?
I recently got a Gear VR (~15 USD) and I had my old S9 stored in the drawer. It was a better option for my usage (3D/regular movies and PC VR with Xbox gamepad) than buying a Quest 2 (~620 USD in my country). An incredible "cinema" experience and I can watch my movies before sleep without disturbing my wife. I am using the developer mode on the Gear APP and SKYBOX VR Video Player (you can get the apk, since the Oculus App no longer enables login to access the store).

thinking about buying gear VR
I am using most for 3d movies with SKYBOX VR and regular movies with Netflix. For games, I installed Batman Arkham VR (with an Xbox gamepad) and it is working great with the old version of ALVR (resolution at 150% for better quality), I did not like it on the MS Flight Simulator but I will try it on Automobilista 2.
- newbie pcvr with gear vr
- Meta no longer supports Oculus Go but you can still use it as a PC VR headset with the help of VRidge streaming (it’s 30% off until 3rd October with code SPOOKY2022). I’m putting a guide on how to install VRidge on Go in the comments.

Virtual desktop on steam or oculus store?
ALVR is a free and open source alternative to VD, they do the same thing. Though I have no personal experience with it. Until you get software update 28 for your oculus headset (which includes Oculus own virtual desktop functionality), ALVR is the only free option. VD costs I think 15 or 20 dollars.
What are some alternatives?
