Can confirm I have added ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/vrmonitor.sh to launch options. When I close steamvr, alvr in headset shows passthrough as normal.

Here are the console logs:
$ [01:01:09.121 WARN alvr_dashboard::steamvr_launcher::linux_steamvr] Make sure you have put the following line in your SteamVR launch options and restart it:

yes, i can run that sh file

#

i set to only use dedicated gpu in uefi settings. I tried to also use envycontrol to set to nvidia only, but for some reason it's stuck in hybrid mode no matter what I do

#

how did you tell that i only have mobile GPU?

aight, so, any clue where this problem is from? Have spent days trying fixes

i think it was actually a usb power issue

#

i disabled usb autosuspend, that didnt work. Then I switched to wireless, that worked. Then I bought one of those wires that forked into two and has external power supply, since then wired mode worked without issues as well.

#

i corrected all of those multiple times
