About WiVRn
WiVRn streams virtual reality from a Linux computer to a headset over a wireless network. It uses a dashboard on the PC and a client app on the headset; users start both, connect from the headset, then launch a VR application from the PC.
Running OpenVR or Steam games requires a compatibility library such as OpenComposite or xrizer. The computer and headset must be on the same network with matching server and client versions, and Fedora installs lack H.264 and H.265 codecs by default.

Why does my headset not connect to my computer?
Check that the firewall allows UDP and TCP port 9757 and that the server and client are the same version.
Why don't Steam games launch on the headset?
Install OpenComposite or xrizer, copy launch arguments shown in the dashboard into Steam launch parameters, and give additional OpenXR file permissions when using Flatpak Steam.
