Expected behavior SteamVR launches as expected and interfaces with Valve Index

• SteamVR version: 2.0.8
• Steam client version: 1698777785

Additional context I'm running the KDE plasma Wayland desktop as recommended by Steam here. The version of Steam I have installed is from the Steam website and not the Ubuntu repos. I've tried restarting SteamVR, rebooting, and unplugging the Valve Index and plugging it back in.

Switched to Plasma(Wayland) on Ubuntu-Studio 22.04 to see if maybe 2.0.10 would run without the error you get in Plasma(X11), and can confirm same issue for 2.0.10 as another-techie is getting for 2.0.8.

Same issue with X11

System Information (please complete the following information):

Distribution: Manjaro 23.0.4
SteamVR version: 2.0.8
Steam client version: 1698777785
Opted into Steam client beta?: No
Graphics driver version: Mesa 23.1.9-manjaro1.1

Hardware Information:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3970X Threadripper
RAM: 128GB DDR4-3200
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT

It does come on by rolling back to the SteamVR 1.14 "for Linux beta" though

Same here. up to date Fedora 38, on an AMD 5900X RTX3070 on 545.29.02

(I've given up on wayland, far to buggy for general use)

reverted (again) to SteamVR 1.27.5 thank f' I offlined that before they made this garbage "non beta", wtf????????

I tried on Regolith OS as well on Wayland with a supported compositor. Didn't work on X11 with Reglith (based on Ubuntu 22.04) either. I tried 1.14v beta that's supposed to work for Linux users. Didn't work either.
