Guy modded his steam deck be as small as possible, with the only intended use to be to play with an external controller and AR glasses.

A slight modification as I have new information: If you can justify it, the Xreal One might be worthwhile as they have added an ASIC to do away when the buggy software and dongle nonsense. Still not super open-source friendly (they're not actively hostile either) but that seems to solve my biggest issue with the experience. They seem to have better quality optics as well.

I may end up getting a pair of those to replace my Nreal Airs that are held together with tape and CA glue (I'm unfortunately hard on my electronics).

No problem! My "dream" HMD would be birdbath optics with ~2k displays for each eye and probably some simple hardware upscaling. The glasses being "dumb" is a real perk. Doubling the pixels/° would make the experience that much better.
