Hello,

Same problem but with NVidia 1070 GTX (Driver 580.95.05-0buntu0.24.04.2 on Linux Mint 22.2) and a Quest 2.
I launched the SteamLink client, I see launching environment (grey grid on black ground) and all Freeze with error 450 and SteamVR on host is completely frozen.

System Information (please complete the following information):
Steam client version (build number or date):
SteamVR 2.14.4
Linux Mint 22.2

Is this still happening for folks on the most recent SteamVR? I can't reproduce it with a Quest 3 and current SteamVR/Steam Link.
