Valve Launches Official Steam Link PC VR Streaming App on Quest
https://github.com/alvr-org/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.

VR Gaming on Linux is hard ( for me )
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.
-
AMD Graphics Driver related issue with VR
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.

Quest New User Megathread
You can play wirelessly using Air Link, Virtual Desktop, or ALVR.

Unsure of switching to Linux
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.
- is there another software I can use to connect my quest 2 to steamvr? (not the oculus app or virtual desktop either)

HTC Vive on dual boot with Windows and EndeavourOS
As for making Bluetooth power management work under Linux, I use this script to automatically turn the base stations on and off. Note that Bluetooth functionality isn't entirely out of the question for SteamVR Linux, and the Index is already supported as of earlier this year. There's no official comment about the Vive (nor the Index actually), but it'll probably happen. Eventually.

Valve Index and Linux Audio Issue
There is steamvr_utils script https://github.com/DavidRisch/steamvr_utils which changes audio output and turns on/off basestations. But it's not working properly if you're using pipewire instead pulseaudio (for me at least)

Does VR run on Linux and how is the G2?
For instance, the index base stations don't go into standby automatically, and the bluetooth layer in the linux version of SteamVR just doesn't function, so currently I rely on https://github.com/DavidRisch/steamvr_utils to set my lighthouses into standby when I'm not using them. It's a pain, but it works!
-
Those of you who are dual-booting, what games or applications would it take for you to delete that windows partition?
I recently got steam VR to work really well, using this.
-
Worth buying Valve Index if exclusively running Ubuntu?
I wrote a python program to do that on Linux: https://github.com/DavidRisch/steamvr_utils
-
After a decade Windows-free, I'm suddenly in possession of a Valve Index. Should I bite the bullet and install a Windows partition?
Yeah, that graphics card is what's slowing the experience down, I don't think you'd see any difference using Windows. As for the audio, try using this: https://github.com/DavidRisch/steamvr_utils
