A HUGE thanks for Linux compatibility!

I love ALVR for the Linux support! I just had to read the setup instructions and I was up and running in all of about 5 minutes. I love the (nearly) endless possibilites in configuration and tweaking and I really like the look and feel of using ALVR. However, if I have to take my Headset off for a moment and it goes to stand-by, it does not resume seamlessly. There are many, many connection losses an automatic reconnect attempts until it decides to somewhat work again but in reality I have to restart SteamVR/ALVR to reconnect cleanly. But when it works, it works like a charm! I really would like to see a kind of profile management option like profile 1 is aimed at lower graphics and higher refresh rate and profile 2 is the other way around so I don't need to dial in all the settings manually everytime. Keep up the good work!

The reason I was able to switch to Linux

This app is awesome. VR was one of the few things stopping me from ditching Windows. I heard vr was possible with ALVR but it was really complicated. That's old news though! I was up and running playing my favorite VR titles immediately. Most important was Automobilista 2 with my wheel and pedals. I just had to add an argument into Steam VR so everything would show up. A lot of great settings to tune to get the best image and frame rate. I'm running this flawlessly on CachyOS! I downloaded WlxOverlay so I can see my desktop. 😃
