Have you tried Envision/Monado on your Index? I have a Vive Pro and the performance is significantly better, albeit you lose controller rebinding feature and OpenVR (games which require SteamVR) compatibility is meh
I have, actually and it's great. I only used it for things like racing games (I also have a USB steering wheel with force feedback) because it doesn't show you the borders of your play space (yet). The thing is just that I installed Envision from the AUR back then and it just worked and now that I'm on Fedora, I used distrobox to install it from the AUR again. When I try to build a profile tho, it tells me that dependencies are missing that simply aren't in the package manager or the AUR. That's why I currently don't have Monado working. I'd really like to get it working again tho. Wish it just had a Flatpak.
Flatpak doesn't support DRM leasing so software can't access the displays of the headset. Envision is also available as an AppImage: https://gitlab.com/gabmus/envision/-/pipelines?ref=main&status=success
It's a shame DRM leasing doesn't work for flatpak but maybe it will in the future. I tried the AppImage but it's the same issue, I can't build a profile because the dependencies are missing.
Are you interested in receiving assistance with your issue?
That would be nice but I'm gonna try if I can get it working by myself first. Haven't tried it in quite a while, so maybe it works now for some reason.
