BTW I have a bug report on WiVRn concerning the game so that they can path it in a more gracious manner than my terrible workaround: https://github.com/WiVRn/WiVRn/issues/232 -- and I have even created a bug report for the game on their official bugtracker, since it all stems from an openxr initialization that's off the specifications, with invalid values.

WiVRn is a revolution in Linux VR gaming. It's suddenly like a had a PC that's 10 times more powerful. I had to edit a couple lines of code to get Metro Awakening running, but it's running much, much, MUCH better than in ALVR/SteamVR.

I know there are people still expecting the Steam Link to work on Linux but this will be just like ALVR, since it is still linked to SteamVR which is unusably buggy and has an enormous performance hit. I think at its current state on Linux it is so crappy that it should be abandoned and that's why I personally am testing WiVRn with the most games I can.
