Haven't played DayZ in quite some time but this tool made the trick

I'm the author of the dayz CLI launcher, in case you're talking about https://github.com/bastimeyer/dayz-linux-cli-launcher

I was able to run DayZ quite some time ago on Linux without Steam Beta. I don't know where you saw that you needed Steam Beta but that's definitely not the case ahah. I'm afraid I cannot help you with your Steam Beta issue, but as for DayZ I used this tool to join modded servers. If you don't like CLI tools there is also this one which uses a GUI but I have never tested it.

There are a few launcher alternatives that performs the mod configurations (like this or this for example), I tried the DTZUI, a little bit of work because you need to mark each Mod to download individually on Steam Community (DTZUI gives you the list of mods needed by the server and the link to download each one).

5 - Using the dayz linux cli launcher: https://github.com/bastimeyer/dayz-linux-cli-launcher Usually you have to execute it several times untill it enters a server, and some server do not work, i do not why, but it's only a small percentage.

If you plan to play on modded servers, you should try this launcher or this one, they're both great

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.
