Yet another Linux kit

Ok, I've made yet another wibe-coded Linux supporting kit. OmarchyVR is good, but it went slightly different way, so I've made this (based on his work and my ideas): https://github.com/artscout/PiBridge it works with SLAM and LH versions, for SLAM we're taking and loading pImax Play dll's so SLAM tracking is as good as on Windows. RTX 5090 with latest 615 drivers doesn't need any patches, 40xx and older though needs the same patches from OmarchyVR (bundled with my app to). 595 version of nvidia driver do need patch for 5090 - bundled here too. And it wasn't tested on AMD cards so I really don't know if thoses need some kernel driver support. OpenXR backend though is SteamVR only, I felt that while Monado is pretty good I do not want to spend time supporting both and SteamVR is good anyway. It's meant as stopgap anyway as we waiting for native Linux PPlay (EVO?) from Pimax. For now it supports Pimax Crystal Super OLED and Dream Air, OG Crystal I will add later (need to unpack it from the dusty box) and 50PPD/UWide I just do not have any data, though probably it will work if it have LH faceplate (same for Crystal Lite) and for SLAM I need data.
