Hi everyone, I have a bit of a headache to deal with and this was something that was really frustrating to deal with. Trying to use SteamVR with the Valve Index isn't really working well right out of the box for me as I keep getting the Error Code 496 "Your headset might no be connected, or your desktop environment might not support VR."

Which well, It was indeed working on Windows. I do run KDE Plasma using Wayland and I'm currently running the native package for Steam as suggested alongside the Mesa drivers since I use AMD for my gpu.

For a TL;DR

Error Code 496
OS: CachyOS
GPU: AMD Rx 6950XT
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950x3D
MEMORY: 16 GB 3200
