Basic Linux Vr

Prerequisites

Valve Index
AMD GPU
Wayland (but not Gnome)
- I recommend starting with default Endeavoros (KDE Plasma): https://endeavouros.com/

Set up correct AMD driver

    #Open-source Vulkan driver for AMD GPUs
yay vulkan-radeon

    # remove if necessary
yay -R amdvlk

Install Steam

Don't use flatpak or snap, they aren't ready yet.

yay steam

At this point, Steam should pick up your headset and lighthouse and the rest is guided. Small deviations from this setup may produce complex issues - fair warning.
