    alvr as in the vr streaming program for standalone headsets? that’s kind of a niche among niches. Linux VR users with standalone vr headsets that use that specific method.

      I panicked a bit when I saw the news earlier today as one of those niche guys. Then remembered I had removed it for WiVRn a few weeks ago and don’t have anything else off the AUR. Double niche win lol
