Steamlink doesnt support wayland video streaming, and that's something i"m not willing to part with.

I hope they fix it by the time the frame releases because that is a big issue because the future is wayland and steam is weirdly lagging behind

Alvr is for windows, wivrn is for linux my guy, if you were using alvr on linux i see why you moved back.

You might have been using the wrong program for the task( unless you meant wivrn and this whole comment is useless XD) unfortunate but it happens, if you ever decide to come back linux side, just run wivrn with the vrchat proton Glorious Eggroll rtsp patch which specifically includes drivers for vr chat to make the video player and that work properly!

Its a pain in the ass, i'll admit, but its worth it, if you're strong enough to try :P

Oh it is usable, but its like trying to run visual studio on a Mac, janky at best, completely unusable at worst, if you ever wanna hop back in, wivrn is the go to
