Latest Steam version as of this request is 1751405894, using Ubuntu. System updates have been checked for.
I haven't opted into the Steam beta, and I am using a GTX 1060 6GB.

Steam link on headsets such as the Oculus Quest series of headsets cannot stream VR from a Linux PC, although regular streaming works fine. ALVR is the only workaround as of yet, but it causes issues with SteamVR sometimes. Am I missing a step for Steam Link, or is it unavailable?
To reproduce this is simple, download Steam Link from the Meta Store on an Oculus stand-alone headset, and run the Steam Client on a PC running any Linux distribution.
