  • I think this makes sense. I still need X11 for VR because GNOME still doesn’t have display leasing on Wayland but once that gets implemented I won’t be using X11 anymore. I think most people don’t need X11 anymore either. For people like me who still need it for specific things, it can just be installed again manually.














  • I use a Valve Index on GNOME as well, so here’s a few things:

    • VR doesn’t work yet on GNOME Wayland, you need to select GNOME on Xorg when logging in
    • Sometimes the LEDs are red and the headset doesn’t get detected, just unplug the cable and plug it back in
    • You might also need to press on the cable where it connects on the headset sometimes, it can become a little loose
    • Use CoreCTRL to manually set the GPU performance profile to high, it doesn’t do that automatically for some reason and there’s a huge performance difference
    • If you have the issue that moving your head makes it look like the image is jumping back and forth, go into the per-application video settings of the game from SteamVRs menu and turn on Legacy reprojection
      • This only happens when I have very low FPS, the CoreCTRL thing fixed it for me without having to use this option
    • There’s an older SteamVR version for Linux you can select as a beta option for SteamVR in Steam but I’d actually not recommend using it, it only works when games use Proton 5 and there are newer games that don’t work with a Proton verison that old. A lot of the issues the regular SteamVR version had are fixed now and it works pretty well for me.
