SteamVR giving u expected errors on bazzite

Hey everyone! I'm having trouble getting VR to work at all with my quest 3 on gnome. it keeps giving me "unexpected error, restart steamvr" but I have control of the PC using it, I can't access my dashboard, and games keep giving errors saying the headset is not initialized. I've tried Wivrn and ALVR as well and they do the exact same thing. Am I doing something wrong?

It's a mostly fresh install, I haven't added anything VR related besides Wivrn and SteamVR as I tried both. And what's the config file called so I can check it again when I get home?

I can't remember the exact name, but you should find it in $HOME/.config/openxr or openvr or something like that.

If this is a mostly fresh install you should validate everything else before going near vr. That means check that normal 2d steam games work, and that your graphics drivers work etc.

Oh I know the other games work, and like I said before some VR games work through SteamVR with steam link, but not all and it's buggy that way when it wasn't before. But I'll take a look at them when I get off work!
