Additional context it seems the base stations need a sec to come up. I know I dont have the sugested drivers but I could not find out how to change them.
NOTE: As of writing this I can get it to start with the NVIDIA 470 divers but it is very laggey in the room set up and can't finish it.
I have no clue what I did but I got it working if anyone knows what append let me know and I'll close
This fixed it for me on F36:
chmod -R +x ~/'.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR'/*
I have it working on Fedora 37 (Vive pro with AMD gpu, but on x11).
The main issue is AFAIK that Fedora uses Wayland and Gnome by default and DRM leasing does not work with that combination yet. So you either have to log out of Gnome a start a session with X11 or switch to some other WM like KDE that already has support for DRM leasing on Wayland. Apparently the Gnome people are working on it though, so probably only a temporary issue.
I'm having this issue as well, Fedora 37 KDE Wayland, R7 5800x + 6700XT. Segfault in libc2.17.so. Shows as error 307 in the VR window.
