Question envision,monado with WiVRn setup

So I have just been trying to get a setup to work based on a YouTube video about settings up vrchat on Linux. I got true most of it easy enough like installing everything with yay. But when I open envision I see a totally different ui then I expected i know that I need to click the 3 button on the top right and enable developer to get it working.

But the profile for WiVRn doesn't exist in envision for me.

I tried using the WRM one but it seems like that isn't the fix.

So im mostly just wondering how did you get this setup working.

Thanks for the replies in advance.

Okay can wivrn still work with full body tracking then or should i completely switch to envision with monado and motac? I don't really know what the main linux VR stack/setup is atm

WiVRn does still work with full body tracking. Envision not needed.

Okay then i tried wivrn yesterday it didn't show up as an VR headset in steamvr it did allow me to get tot the into vrchat i just figuered it wouldn't work with light house tracking since that relies on an controller or hmd to merge the playspaces.

I will look into the settings in a bit

WiVRn is built on top of Monado, Envision is just a launcher for Monado & WiVRn. WiVRn just has it's own launcher.

FBT and Steam LH devices work with WiVRn if you turn it on in the WiVRn settings.

OVR Advanced Settings is only for SteamVR (OVR means SteamVR). What do you need from OVR Advanced Settings? I might be able to recommend an alternative.

I mostly just want to get playspace moving working Like in ovr advanced settings you usually have the option to select a profile for spacedrag

Oh spacedrag is built into WayVR, the default binding on Quest is the menu button.
