I don't know what else you run in the house, but if you have a gaming rig and happe to run Linux I've had great success with ALVR for two years, then recently WiVRn. Both are wireless streaming solutions that replace Steam VR/Steam Link and according to my friends who also run Quest 3s I get way better performance. Obviously your mileage may vary with hardware/network etc. but it's better then not using your gear.
I did a test run of bazzite on a SHIT laptop that deserves to be thrown in the trash and it was a more or less positive experience for general gaming. When I installed it on my main rig, literally no steam games would launch and I honestly couldn't be assed to troubleshoot at the time.
wasnt alvr in that list of compromised aur packages?
It was, but I built from their git. 😁
good to hear, stay safe out there
