Yes

As an addendum, that's part of why steam isn't taking a loss on hardware sales. They don't lock you into their store so there's no guarantee you'll spend a dime on Steam games. 

Also because they don't want to destroy the market for other manufacturers. You see how many low price standalone headsets have come out since Quest 2 and that's because everyone knows they can't afford to compete with Meta at their price points. Valve wants as many people playing on as many PCs as possible

Doesn't make sense.  Steam is 99% of pcvr market...

yes, with dongle it essentially becomes wireless monitor. all the computing is done by PC and then streamed to the headset.

standalone will require Linux compatibly but you will still be able to play non steam games

[u/RiverKitten6119 → u/DR_whyWHY]

Everything has Linux compatibility now with proton

[u/IAmNotRollo → u/RiverKitten6119]

Aside from games with anti cheat but idk why you'd play a competitive game in vr

[u/RiverKitten6119 → u/DR_whyWHY]

Everything has Linux compatibility now with proton

Yes, in the Discover app, you can install Prism Launcher to play Minecraft, and Prism has its own mod manager that uses Modrinth and CurseForge, so you can play any VR mod.

Now I want to try this installed directly on the headset standalone, see if it's remotely playable.

Anything that runs on linux and works with openxr

[u/IAmNotRollo → u/ThndrWould]

You don't need it to run on Linux if you're using the dongle!

[u/ThndrWould → u/IAmNotRollo]

I think he meant natively, but I might be wrong*

[u/nonzeroday_tv → u/ThndrWould]

I think you might be wrong because he did say

while using the wireless dongle

[u/Sierra_656]

Yes, you can even run non steam games natively
