To explain, I had to downgrade my computer from a gaming laptop to something lower end, due to my gaming laptop breaking. My gaming laptop was of course able to link games to my Quest 2 and I could play them like that. Unfortunately, my new computer is having the "graphics card not compatible" issue. Is there any way to play the games that I purchased on the Oculus app on my Oculus device without streaming, or am I stuck?

It depends on the games.
If a game is on this list: https://vrdb.app/rift/index_us.html?filter=Cross-Buy+Apps
then it is cross buy. That means when you get the PC version (only from Oculus, not from Steam or Epic), you also get a free Quest native version that runs without the PC.
These won't show up automatically in your Quest 2. You need to go to the Quest 2 games store and look for each game one by one. The price will be listed as Free if it's cross buy. Buy it again as free to get the Quest 2 version.
Otherwise, Having a good enough PC is needed to do PCVR on a Quest 2. I've heard of some people trying cloud gaming services (nvidia has one I think) but I don't know much about how successful that is (not something I'd want, lag would be horrible from here in Australia).

Did you just ask chatgpt to rewrite my reply from last year?
