			==Workarounds==

			These headsets are working on Linux distributions using the monado/opencomposite vr stack. [https://gitlab.com/gabmus/envision Envision] is an app that will compile and run the required apps to get everything working. More information can be found on the [https://lvra.gitlab.io/ LVRA website] and [https://discord.gg/EHAYe3tTYa discord]. As it is still alpha/beta software, there are still bugs, and depending on vr set, not all functionality may be implemented yet. However, as it is open source software, it is constantly being improved.
