10 months ago- Gnome + Wayland is a bust currently. Recommend KDE + Wayland.
- If you experience problems during first run, check that you’re using the radeon icd-loader and not the amdvlk or intel one. SteamVR on linux have a strange habit of just randomly assigning one if all are available, and I’ve experienced a couple of installs/distros where the amdvlk one was simply there by default for some reason.
- Steam beta + SteamVR beta straight up doesn’t work right now. For a “stable” experience I recommend current Steam + the temp_SteamVR 1.27.5-branch. From there your proton-version may vary depending on which game you’re running, but latest stable is a pretty safe bet.
- For me, I always have to run and kill SteamVR once per session before it behaves properly. Afterwards, start SteamVR first, then launch your game either from desktop steam, or within VR.
Run:
ls /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/
Then what you want to see is:
radeon_icd.i686.json radeon_icd.x86_64.json
If there’s anything else you need to uninstall the package responsible for it. Usually that’d be amdvlk or some kind of intel-related driver.
