While quest users can already play steam games using Oculus Link/AirLink or VirtualDesktop (which is a paid app), not having to use metas desktop app sounds like a win to me.
I am also hoping this will finally be an easy way to stream VR games using a Linux system?
If I recall, VR support in Linux is quite spotty as well. I can trust that Valve will invest some time into getting this to work, but a lot of the PC gaming market share is still Windows so it makes sense to support them first.

Hopefully they add Linux support soon.
Does it not work on Linux?
Edit: Ok, it does not. I just tried it.
