This causes the screen to stay black on the client or an error to be reported that the pipewire device is missing or can even result in SteamVR crashing.

### Fix
Add `~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/vrmonitor.sh %command%` to the commandline options of SteamVR (SteamVR -> Manage/Right Click -> Properties -> General -> Launch Options).

The path might differ based on your installation of Steam, for example on systems using the deb-package like Debian and Mint `~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/vrmonitor.sh %command%` is needed.
Add `~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/vrmonitor.sh %command%` to the commandline options of SteamVR (SteamVR -> Manage/Right Click -> Properties -> General -> Launch Options).

## Amdvlk/AMD
If you have Amdvlk installed on your system, it overrides other vulkan drivers and causes SteamVR to break. Use the `vulkan-radeon` driver (aka radv) instead.
