It is actually working with Steam Link, ALVR and WiVRn. It works with all. I just recorded a gameplay with ALVR here, but I can record with Steam Link too if you want: https://youtu.be/wCJrNFn2gaY

Check if SteamVR is your openXR runtime. If not, create the link: ln -sf ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/steamxr_linux64.json ~/.config/openxr/1/active_runtime.json

Or use xrpicker-gui:

In my video I have tested with SteamVR stable (2.14.5) but I have also tested with SteamVR beta (2.15.3), just so that you don't think I'm mistaken.

There is a bug where steamvr won't make the OpenXR runtime the default when you click that button to make it the default, don't know if it's fixed in beta yet.

At this point I wouldn't expect anything from Valve. Yesterday I went on to play Fallout 4 VR and realized that the 6-year-old bug of being unable to use the virtual keyboard to type your character's name is still there. Look at the bugs in this bugtracker, specially the ones from the last year, and you'll see virtually no activity from Valve, no response.

So better to circumvent the bug using xrpicker-gui. "make the openxr runtime the default" is just creating the link as I've described it above and as simple as it is, SteamVR still can't handle it, it's unbelievable.

Fixed in SteamVR 2.16.1
