  • I had the same issue as you with steam link and my 7800xt. Putting this in my launch args for SteamVR fixed it RADV_PERFTEST=video_decode,video_encode DRI_PRIME=1 ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/vrmonitor.sh %command% and if you try that and get a different error code from before, ( I think it was like 1033) swap your mesa drivers to the freeworld variety. That should be sudo dnf swap mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers-freeworld .

    The only thing is, steamvr can’t display your desktop properly if you’re using wayland, it simply doesn’t support it. BUT here’s a cool project that can help you work around it, for some reason there’s currently a bug with their pipewire implementation (or something like that) such that you have to manually connect the display streams in the coppwr pipewire gui (helvum and carla don’t work), otherwise it’ll only show one frame of the display stream.

    y’know what, I’m actually gonna make a post about this, since it took me many hours of searching forums to find this solution.
