Steam Link on the quest is already far superior to Virtual Desktop! WHY? Because it just takes 2 clicks to play a game. It's like playing a game NATIVE on the Quest. That's sick and I love that! I was always bothered by how many extra steps it took me to get to my games on PC via Airlink or Virtual Desktop.. It's also smooth, looks perfect, and will be tweaked by Valve with their awesome developers in no time. They will also fix the audio bug real quick, as usual. (I don't have the bug btw). Oh, and it's 100% free ;) Just my 2 cents:)

This was my observation on steam link: For me at least, it worked better than air link or virtual desktop on the quest 3 (virtual desktop pretty much always worked reliably on quest 2, air link was hit and miss, but cable/rift mode always worked). What really surprised me though was: I was resigned to having to do an upgrade to wifi 6e to get decent wireless performance. From what I've seen so far with steam link, I probably don't need to bother with the upgrade. Interestingly I notice you initialise dead centre in the steam grid, that never happened with airlink. It didn't work properly with Polybius and I haven't tried Skyrim yet, but its looking pretty cool otherwise.

I can't say for valve index I know it requires wires and it also requires the sensors like the oculus c1 the quest 3 is okay with great res and field of view but there battery sucks so bad I mean really bad if that helps make the decision I personally sending my quest 3 back and keeping to the quest 2 which is just as good as battery is much much better try looking up valve index reviews 2023 maybe that will help but my personal advice is keep to wireless get a battery pack or something and play that way it be 5x the immersion
