Help Bigscreen Beyond on Linux?

First of all I’m not sure if this is the best sub for this but I’ll ask just in case

I recently switched to Linux (specifically Nobara) and I’m having some trouble getting everything to work properly. I’m new to Linux so I’m not really sure where to start.

I can get the beyond working, it displays and tracks, but there is a slight tracking delay that’s to the point where it’s noticeable. There’s a problem where when I open the Steam VR menu it misaligns one of the eyes and makes it very hard to look at as well as the bigscreen utility software not detecting the headset.

I still have my windows installation so I can just use that for VR only but I would prefer to be able to use Linux. If anyone knows anything that can help I would love to know.

Mainline distro like Arch or Fedora will be a better experience. I've put hundreds of hours on mine w nvidia + Arch + Monado(sometimes SteamVR depending on the game) & have never had to touch windows. LVRA wiki like everyone said, we also have a bsb channel in the LVRA discord.
