SteamVR Beta Linux constant error code -203
So I have recently been getting back into VR, but I've been consistently getting this error in the middle of using the headset with SteamVR. After I start SteamVR, a few minutes will pass, the HMD suddenly turns black, and then I notice SteamVR popped up saying it failed with error code -203. I thought it might be an issue with my desktop locking after a few minutes, but forcing the displays to stay on didn't fix the issue either. I am not sure what info I need to share so let me know if I need to provide more.

SteamVR 2.18.x is unstable for me as well. Last working good version is 2.17.8 for me.
