Some errors from firewall (like os error 32) are really not obvious for users, they should be captured and logged correctly
Also sometimes handshake errors on wired could mean their cable is not working properly, or port is malfunctioning/not compatible with adb

There are more errors, like os error 11 (also could be related to firewall), 10013, 10054, 997 (Overlapped I/O operation is in progress)

On top of this, check for encoders upon launching steamvr on linux should include note on nvidia to relogin/reboot

On wiki, many people seem to get confused how to combine environment variables with vrmonitor fix, this should be fixed by including all possible combinations (hybrid gpu + sway + vrmonitor, mint paths, etc) (maybe even merging most of them if they can't affect already working setup)
Also on wiki, vrmonitor fix should be declared mandatory (and not optional), so people won't miss it

Yea tbh we should've put it as mandatory like long ago, but sunken cost fallacy about direct mode I guess. We shouldn't include all combinations tho, the amount of stuff on the page is ever increasing and including all possible combinations is just guaranteed pain with that. We should instead include a paragraph about how to merge them properly

Maybe even including some graph, picture how it's merged. Tbh i want to be able to change that command from alvr itself, to not constantly remind ppl about that page all the time
I saw vdf parser for rust which should be what we need to find and replace commandline, but this needs deeper analysis

Also wiki should mention you need both 32 and 64 bit mesa-freeworld vaapi drivers (or just 64 bit? maybe 32 bit is not required?...)

MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT might be also needed for switching graphics on amd-amd (or intel-amd) system, but i'm not sure (needs testing)
