Alright tried once more to make monado + opencomposite work because other people "assured me it would work" and it doesn't..... followed https://lvra.gitlab.io/docs/distros/nixos/ + https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/VR + https://monado.freedesktop.org/valve-index-setup.html#5-setting-up-opencomposite, so is there a fucking secret magic documentation that make this work or everyone lying ???
Linux VR Adventures WikiNixOSNixOS # General documentation about VR is provided on the NixOS Wiki.
Recommendations # The recommended way to set up NixOS for VR is by using services.monado or services.wivrn.
You may also want to install opencomposite (or xrizer, currently only available in nixpkgs-xr) and wlx-overlay-s.
For OpenComposite or XRizer, you may want to configure ~/.config/openvr/openvrpaths.vrpath to point to your OpenComposite or XRizer installation. See below for an example using home-manager.
xdg.configFile."openvr/openvrpaths.vrpath".text = '' { "config" : [ "~/.local/share/Steam/config" ], "external_drivers" : null, "jsonid" : "vrpathreg", "log" : [ "~/.local/share/Steam/logs" ], "runtime" : [ "${pkgs.opencomposite}/lib/opencomposite" ], "version" : 1 } ''; If you need to run the latest possible version of any of these pieces of software for whatever reason, above what is packaged in NixOS, you may want to check out Community Overlays at the bottom of this article.
