ALVR VS ALVR

They also achieve very low latency, I didn't follow every single optimization they added but it basically boils down to a few encoding tricks (better image in the center, accept blurriness in the peripheral vision), good network infrastructure, and hardware decoding / encoding being really fast.

To use steamvr on flatpak I used this tutorial . There was a disclaimer that nvidia GPUs are not supported, but the guy that suggested it has a 3090, so it might work for me too.

They have a Wiki page on GitHub with a settings tutorial and troubleshooting. A downside with a lot of open-source software is that it's relatively difficult to setup but it might fix some of your issues.

You can play wirelessly using Air Link, Virtual Desktop, or ALVR.

They also have a detailed wiki page on GitHub

https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/wiki/Settings-guide Goes in-depth about a lot of the features/settings

Quest 2 needs some workarounds (dev mode account), but once you've done those you can just install ALVR (I recommend nightly). As for the games, check ProtonDB. Some VR games (Pavlov beta, for example) have EAC that blocks proton. Some VR games don't work with ALVR due to https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/issues/1392, like the Pavlov beta and Crawlspace. Just install the proprietary NVIDIA drivers and use Xorg and most things should work fine. Steam has Proton, which lets you play Windows games with high performance.

I got the XRE working with PCVR over wifi last night, and I used it for...I dunno, an hour or two? Then switched over to the Quest Pro because there is a newer version of ALXR that I learned about and wanted to try. Annnnd then I used the Quest Pro for 3 more hours and went to bed with only 5 hours before I had to get up for work. 😹

ALXR passthrough modes are now supported on Focus 3 / XR Elite headsets in the latest nightly builds. Controls are Left Menu + A (mask mode) or B (blend mode)

Info on the project is currently in the wiki pages here and not the main readme.md page, yeah I should change the name and replace the main info page. I will do this soon but I think if i do this now it may break links I've posted.The main ALVR repository is currently adding OpenXR support but my project is seperate and a different codebase.

https://github.com/korejan/ALVR/releases/tag/v0.10.0 this one? i cant really find their website

ALXR supports these only with C++ & OpenXR, if you need a reference, the facial & eye tracking are currently in the facial-eye-tracking branch, hand-tracking is all branches.

ALXR/ALVR works with Pico 4: https://github.com/korejan/ALVR/releases/tag/v0.10.0 https://github.com/korejan/ALVR/wiki

That aside, Pico4 seems to be the way to go (at least in Europe), it's reasonably cheap (429€), should be usable in Linux with ALXR (haven't tried myself) and for movies specifically, you can do everything on the headset itself (it supports 8k movies unlike a Go).
