Updates to SteamVR to fix their Linux-specific bugs, like broken room view, lighthouse power management/firmware update, inconsistent performance and reprojection issues

OpenComposite to have a longer list of working games through it

More polished Wine/Proton Wayland driver

Implementation of Windows Spatial Audio in Wine

Better handling of audio sample rates/allowing adjustment of sample rate per device

Hardware video acceleration in Electron, ex. when screen-sharing on Discord

This would be amazing! I'm currently testing the waters on Manjaro having only ever used Ubuntu years ago in college, and currently the abysmal VR support is preventing me from switching over full time.

Would you happen to know if there is a different Linux distro I should be using for better VR support or are they all equally screwed right now?

The lack of asynchronous reprojection is nausea central for me. I read you can use a super old version of steam VR, which has an older worse form of reprojection that works, but I haven't looked into it further.
