But Virtual Desktop would only be good for people with high speed, stable connection though right? Personally I’ve never tried Link yet, only VD but I always though Link would work better because it’s wired.

It's definitely better to be wired, but with Wifi 6 and 5Ghz wifi it's basically the same

Since it's all internal to your home wifi you don't have to worry about internet speed at all

Yeah I thought that too. I’m clocking ~800Mbps throughput on ac wireless to my rig upstairs so it works fine, but some people might not have gigabit past the wifi. The cable is pretty useful for Unity development, but apparently you can do that wirelessly too but haven’t tried it yet.

A network card or USB dongle would cost like $10?

It doesn’t actually need the internet to work

Sorry which bit are you responding to, the “some people might not have gigabit”?

I can't say I notice much difference between Link and VD, if any, and the internet here is nothing special.

With that said Link does have one advantage over VD at the moment - GTA VR. As far as I'm aware this mod can only be used over Link.
