Valve released an app that installs onto the Quest 2 (and I'm sure the 3 as well) called Steam Link that allows you to wirelessly connect to your computer running Steam. It's free on the Quest store. I use it to play Half-Life: Alyx and I've been very very happy with it. So happy that I'll probably get all my VR games on Steam now. I do occasionally have a stutter here and there, but as you pointed out, not having any wires is fantastic.

We've had Virtual Desktop Streamer for many years now, which isn't limited to Steam and overall i'd say it's much better than Steam Link...
There's also META's own software to use it wirelessly, been there since Quest 1 i believe.

There is Meta's own software, but any time I don't need to install or run Meta/Facebook software on my computer is a win for me. And all my games are on Steam. To each their own, just wanted to point it out as an option.

I've heard that for many, Steam Link for VR runs better than Meta's Air Link. Myself, I've not been able to make it work, because for some reason the sound is always played on my computer and not on my headset. I've been using Virtual Desktop since before Steam Link, so I'm happy to stick with that one - but there are a handful of games that don't work at all with VD.

I'm currently playing more VR than non-VR games, and one of the things I'm playing is
Moss: Book II.
I've had Moss on my wishlist for ages, and I finally picked it up the other day. I find the presentation to be a little cloying (which is why I had held off), but it's also gorgeous and richly animated, and I was surprised at how fluid and responsive the controls were. I'm looking forward to playing more.

Oculus/Meta Quest 2 is great, Quest 3 is better for sure but I yet have to buy it. I also owned original Quest and Go before.
Team Beef made excellent Doom 1/2/3 and Quake VR ports for the headset (the ports are official now I believe), I mean totally standalone versions, you don't need a PC to play them. I dreamt about playing Doom 1/2 in VR some 30 years ago and now it's here. Now I'd love if someone made Thief 1/2 VR ports for Quest, it shouldn't be too hard I believe.
PS: Some of my favourites for Quest are:
Red Matter 1/2
Cosmodread
Arizona Sunshine 2
Resident Evil 4 VR
Into the Radius
The Walking Dead 1/2
Vampire: The Masquerade - Justice
Ancient Dungeon
Eye of the Temple
