Right now: Meta Quest 3

If you wait a few months: Steam Frame

Quest 3 is standalone, and runs VR games on the headset, or with Steam Link and good wifi, you can play VR games from your PC on it. Caveat, you need a Meta (Facebook) account to use it.

Quest 3, not the 3S, uses pancake lenses, which is the big advantage compared to older headsets in comfort and clarity.

Steam Frame is going to be the better, will also play Standalone, but is designed to connect to a PC, including its own wireless link that doesn’t need to use your wifi router. Requires a Steam account. Caveat, you need to wait a few months for it to be released.

Steam Frame has a better-specced design that is intended for its purpose of VR gaming headset, and Valve doesn’t track you like Meta does.

Yeah, it technically works, but requires telling ROCm you have a 6800 XT instead

As someone who remotes home frequently, no, the experience is not quite right. Packet drop and latency cause lots of input errors and misclicks. Sometimes the local internet decides not to carry your packets, and sometimes even connecting over vpn doesn’t.

You do not want a cloud desktop. You want a physical desktop and supplement with cloud services you can’t run locally.

The linux problem in a nutshell

Let me one up this. IPv4 NAT is like the pizza guy has to deliver to you, but you live in a gated community with a strict no visitors policy, which does not allow you to even mention what unit you’re in, and none of the addresses in the community are registered with the post office or on Google Maps either. Instead, you tell the guardhouse you want to order, and they order the pizza for you. The pizza guy delivers to the guardhouse, and the guardhouse delivers the pizza to you.

IPv6 (with firewalling) is like a normal gated community, you order the pizza and include the unit number, and the delivery driver can deliver your pizza directly, as long as the guardhouse approves.

The difference is, with NAT, the guardhouse has to both guard (firewall) and route (keep track of all deliveries, and deliver) your packages, where with IPv6, the guardhouse (firewall) only has to guard (firewall) the entry point.
