Needs PRESSURE_VESSEL_FILESYSTEMS_RO="/usr/lib/steamvr/alvr/" to make it work. Please include this.

As far as i tested, with mandatory vrmonitor launch argument, i did not need PRESSURE_VESSEL_FILESYSTEMS_RO anymore.

If anyone still requires it for alvr to function, please let me know, otherwise i will unpin current comments.

This package, along with alvr-nvidia, simply doesn't work. I don't know why exactly, but I've been unsuccessfully trying to to connect alvr to steamVR for 2 days. It has always failed at detecting the device. Everything suddenly worked when I switched to the alvr-launcher AUR package instead.

All I can really do is add a message on install, since this probably has to go into Steam's launch settings for SteamVR

Build fails in a clean chroot. Seems like it is missing a dependency on libpipewire:
