Any guides for syncing my quest to PC to use SteamVR and shit?

I have virtual desktop, but I'm seeing multiple guides that recommend different things.

I do not have a link cable, I'll get one eventually, I think, but I do have a usb to usb3 or w/e cable. I can use the cable to transmit data from my phone to pc and vice versa, so I assume it works for data.
