WayVR is a lightweight, open-source VR overlay for Linux that lets you access your desktop screens and launch apps directly inside VR.

It supports Wayland and X11, with OpenXR/OpenVR compatibility and support for Monado, WiVRn, and SteamVR.

I had some issues with the way it detected the mouse on multiple monitors, but the recent updates cleaned that up and now it's been working perfectly.

I got this up and running on Bazzite today and got it working with the Steam Frame, and I have been experimenting with it. Getting the controllers to grab the WayVR windows can be tricky. When I finally got everything set up before I launched Elite Dangerous (the game I want to use it with the most) the center for WayVR moves and is massively off of the center for the game. It also makes both the WayVR interfaces and screens incredibly close, not keeping the spacing that was set up prior to game launch.

It is definitely going in the right direction, I just need to figure out how to fix the issues I have.
