# Patches for SteamVR on Linux
Use at your own risk!
See [the project page on my
website](https://kramkow.ski/project/steamvr-patches.html) for more
information.
## Installing the Steam patchers
1. Put the `patch-<thing>` script somewhere, e.g.
`~/.local/libexec/patch-<thing>`
2. Mark it executable
3. Change the launch options of the specified game/tool to:
`/absolute/path/to/patch-<thing> %command%`.
If you already have something in there, I'm sure you can figure it
out.
4. Launch the game/tool normally. You should see a desktop notification with
some diagnostics which specify if the script actually did/tried to do
something.
## Installing the Frame SteamOS patcher
1. Put the contents of the `frame-steamos` directory onto your headset.
2. Run `sudo ./install` while inside that directory.
3. Reboot the headset.
4. Check the journal: `journalctl -eu patch-frame.service` you should expect to
see something like:
```
systemd[1]: Starting Apply Steam Frame patches...
patch-frame[1080]: Patched /opt/steamvr/tools/vrlink/bin/linuxarm64/vrlink
systemd[1]: Finished Apply Steam Frame patches.
```
