I owned 2 quest headsets. The only time I used streaming was for alyx, and that runs natively here.

Even in Windows, I struggled getting streaming working on quest.

It's not as big a deal for many like me as people think

    PC VR is a major part of the VR market, so it is important. I would never pay a single cent to Meta, so I have only used PC VR.

    If the games ran on the headset directly though, would you still bother with PC VR?

    that was the problem with the meta quest. Steam Frame is a proper computer, and you could even use different stores.

    I'll play a few games on it directly, which will be convenient, but I also understand that I can't strap a big RTX GPU to my head like the one in my desktop.

    They are simply 2 different levels of VR experience. Also I can run Elden Ring in VR on the PC, and a lot of other VR mods.

    Ironically, streaming is better on Linux these days with the full open source stack (wivrn + xrizer) than it is on Windows.

    Hopefully, the Frame will at least support wivrn at launch (which should in theory as it's just an android apk on the client side).
