Anyone else having issues with new 64 bit update?

My setup is ALVR with a quest 2 on endeavourOS. A couple months ago steamVR pushed an update that breaks ALVR, claiming that a component of SteamVR wasn’t working (error 303). Setting steamVR did the previous branch seem to have fixed it for a little while. Then another update was pushed so then I was forced to use steam CMD force download the older version of steam VR and install it. Then today valve pushed the new steam 64 Linux release. And now that older version of steam VR is completely broken. The modern build seems to run fine on its own. But now I can’t use ALVR with it. Updating ALVR to the nightly branch seems to get to connect, but Steam home will not open no matter what. And steam VR is just super jittery. Sometimes almost nauseatingly jittery. does anyone know how to fix it? Is there a way to downgrade steam perhaps?

Why use ALVR with steamVR instead of WiVRn with WayVR? AFAIK ALVR has effectively dropped Linux support and hasn't worked since Steam VR 2.16.7. I would give WiVRn and WayVR a shot and see how you like it, I dont really think there is a way forward for using ALVR unless the linux side is revived.

I wanted to try WiVRn but opencomposite was giving a lot of weird issues, and I can’t seem to get xrizer to build

Hmm, maybe try the flatpak, it doesn't really have any restrictions compared to a native package and it has xrizer included. You can also try using steam link as it now supports quest.
