OpenXR Runtime Detection Issue BONELAB

Bonelab Fails to Detect OpenXR Runtime on Arch Linux (SteamVR Error)

Bonelab fails to detect OpenXR runtime on Arch Linux, preventing VR. Half-Life: Alyx and VNM Job Simulator work fine. SteamVR error when setting as OpenXR runtime: "Could not read file vrmonitor://openxr/makedefault." Checked Linux Troubleshooting Guide, no fix.

Also saw this reddit post which seemed promising but year can really set steamvr at the default openxr runtime

🟢
got it working by creating the directory
/home/user/.config/openxr/1/
and running this cmd
ln -s ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/steamxr_linux64.json ~/.config/openxr/1/active_runtime.json
and setting my steamvr runtime after that
