WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
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.
If you're interested, see this blog post and r/VFIO. Also check out looking-glass for direct access to the VM from linux.
Look into creating a windows VM with GPU pass-through then. The benefit is you don't actually leave the linux environment while booting windows for gaming, and the performance hit to the game is minimal. Example: https://github.com/BigAnteater/KVM-GPU-Passthrough
