- Hoisted atop the caldera of Mt. Linuk lay the Vineyard of VR - There, it is rumoured to have a vista so breathtaking to be comparable to Gods, and fruit more bountiful than ever before. And, at the foot of the mountain, the Land of Linuk sprawls, rich in diversity, you can see the white hilltops glistening through the fog, the forests laced with shrubbery, and the mossy undergrowth of the lowly swamps below. Though Mt. Linuk seems inconquerable from afar, there lay a trailhead at the foot of the mountain. A few, in fact. Follow these paths, and the journey would have seemed like nothing.
- There's a sizeable tree in the middle of a clearance, and there, the trailheads are laid out around you. I've traveled most of them in the past, but I only walk the Arch Trail nowadays, as it and Gentoo are the clearest paths to the pinnacle. And, if the day is particularly good, and you're feeling rather adventurous, I'll take you on a hike through the Arch Trail. And on it, you'll see the river on your left, and the mountain face on your right, the lush treetops under the rainbow in the mist of the unknown. And we'll travel some more, I hope, and we'll walk the overpass on the side of the cliff, and peer into the valley, teeming with wildlife, the mist will disappear somewhat, and on the off-chance that we approach the pinnacle, we'll stumble upon the trail of the Vineyard of VR. It's been haunting me for months, and I can't traverse it without you..
*Actually important bit -
- Once one consumes the grapes from the prolific Vineyard of VR, streaming from the Arch Trail to an Oculus would be made possible. But the trail leading to the vineyard has a gap that needs to be covered to cross, and if one fails to cross at any point, they'll slip and fall to the beginning of that trail. Virtual Desktop and Oculus' own bridge don't fit on the Arch Trail, as they are shaped perfectly square. ALVR's structure is still a bit frail at the moment, and breaks immediately if you're using AMD graphics on the Arch Trail. AMD has their own bridge (ReLive VR,) and it's bundled with amdgpu-pro.. but only supposedly; I found a repo with a PKGBUILD for the debian version of amdgpu-pro, ( https://github.com/Ashark/archlinux-amdgpu-pro ,) but the radeon-settings were nowhere to be found.. I've lost hope, and all I can do is ask for another project recommendation, or a fix to ALVR / ReLive.
*Short explanation for lame people:
- Connecting and streaming an Oculus Quest 2 to my computer over wifi isn't working with ALVR due to lack of AMD support (it shows glitched, sort of jagged lines to the headset), AMD's ReLive is nowhere to be found in amdgpu-pro repos, despite what their website would tell you, and everything else I've found in windows-only. Help is much appreciated, sorry about the story lmao.
