Two of the best Steam Frame features are available for the Galaxy XR right now, and I'm loving what they're doing for my gaming performance

The Galaxy XR has become my go-to device for multitasking. While the headset seems to be marketed more toward entertainment like watching immersive MLB or NBA games, the Olympics, and more, I've found that I keep coming back to it to run my favorite Android apps and experiences in a larger, more comfortable way than my phone or tablets can provide.

But what if you want to go bigger than this? Streaming a desktop PC to the Galaxy XR can be done in a number of ways, but the two "official" ways of doing it are quite restrictive. Samsung's official app requires a GalaxyBook laptop — I don't know anyone who owns one of those — and the official Android XR PC Connect app is a surprisingly slow, laggy experience.
