I want to switch to linux, but I have some questions
What headset do you have? VR works great when it works, but the protocols on Linux don't play well with all headsets. If you have a Vive, Vive Pro, or Index, it should work well with SteamVR. Otherwise, you'll have to dig around and test yourself using something like OpenHMD or more likely Monado, which both have limited device support. In my search, I came across this page, which might help you out.

Linux genuinely gives me less issues than Windows
As a rare VR on Linux user, SteamVR for Linux is in a sad state and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's not extremely dedicated. The fact that it exists at all is a step up from other vendors but man is it a bad experience right now. Worse than it's been since the earliest days IMO

VR Users - huge performance increase switching to OpenXR instead of OpenVR
I'm sure many are aware of it, but if you're not and want to do the same you can download the 64bit dll from here https://gitlab.com/znixian/OpenOVR/-/tree/openxr and replace the openvr_api.dll in your bin\win_x64 folder of ETS2 or ATS.

Vr goes black
Can't say I have that with my Odyssey+ HMD (same WMR style). But I am using OpenComposite and not SteamVR.

Steam VR is the worst
Don't think what I'm saying is possible ? Let me introduce you to the Opencomposite XR project - they're all about porting OpenXR API calls to Valve's openvr_api.dll. And ya, they got some games working ! This is good for all Oculus/Meta, Windows, Pico, HTC headsets ! Files · openxr · Campbell Suter (ZNix) / OpenComposite · GitLab
