Install VIVE Pro 2 Linux Driver by CertainLach

VIVE Console for SteamVR (not necessary anymore):.

VIVE Console is no longer required, but try installing it if you face issues without it. Install SteamVR from Steam and close Steam after it has been installed.

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

Install the custom kernel and update the bootloader (e.g.

env use_numa=n use_tracers=n makepkg -sc.

Disable all other ' CONFIG_HZ_*' values by changing them to ' CONFIG_HZ_.

Change ' CONFIG_HZ=.' to ' CONFIG_HZ=1000'.

Change ' CONFIG_HZ_1000 is not set' to ' CONFIG_HZ_1000=y'.On Arch Linux, the default is usually 300Hz. This might improve performance if your default configuration is lower than 1000Hz. zcat /proc/config.gz > ~/.config/linux-vivepro2/myconfig.NOTE: If you are currently running Linux version other than 5.18.x, you might have to update the config. Kernel version: 5.18.9 Copy your current kernel config See Kernel Patches section below for the patches used in this guide. I personally do not recommend using anything else than a bleeding edge distro for this at the moment.

If you are on another distribution, will have to find out how to patch and compile a kernel on it. NOTE: The custom kernel is only designed to be installed on Arch Linux. See configuration info and driver status/progress here: Thanks for CertainLach for creating the driver for the VIVE Pro 2 on Linux! I can't recommend using SteamVR on Linux at the moment so consider this as experimentation rather than entertainment for now.

The VR experience on Linux as of is mediocre at best especially on the newer hardware such as the VIVE Pro 2. I do not recommend attempting to use the VIVE Pro 2 on anything other than bleeding edge systems (such as Arch Linux) This guide is meant for tinkerers who know their way around.
