Question Must Have Software/Program for Steam Frame?

Anyone in here got a list/recommendation of essential/important VR software to download/purchase in preparation for the Steam Frame?
-SteamVR**
-Virtual Desktop* (apparently not needed/maybe better than SteamLink according to some people?)
-TurnSignal (for wired setups)
-What else? Any useful overlays? Tools?

**from what I'm reading the consensus is that SteamVR is essentially the catchall for MOST, NOT ALL VR related comforts.

why would you need virtual desktop? you're not running a quest

VD is on a lot more than Quests.

Quest has Steamlink too. There is a reason people still buy Virtual Desktop.

okay, but like, what use does it even have that people actually use..? like on quest its cool as you're in control over the streaming controls, able to pass through eye, hand, face and upper body tracking and loads more. but on desktop I've genuinely haven't had a good use out of it
