[https://gitlab.com/znixian/OpenOVR OpenComposite] is a compatibility layer for running OpenVR applications on an OpenXR runtime like Monado. It is comparable to tools like DXVK or vkd3d, but for translating OpenVR calls to OpenXR.

By modifying the bubblewrap binary used for running Steam, you can allow processes in that FHS environment to acquire capabilities. This removes the need for patching the kernel directly.
By modifying the bubblewrap binary used for running Steam, you can allow processes in that FHS environment to acquire capabilities. This removes the need for patching the kernel directly. This may become unnecessary if [https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap/issues/653 bubblewrap #653] is merged and the flag is added to Steam's tooling.
 
'''As of 2026-05, this may no longer be viable:''' Steam now aggressively restores its own pressure vessel srt-bwrap on startup, however deleting <code>~/.local/share/Steam/</code> has been [https://discourse.nixos.org/t/steam-fails-to-launch-with-patched-bwrap/75167 reported] to help.

Steam will periodically replace this modification with its own binary when steam-runtime updates, so you may need to re-apply this change if it breaks.

=== Setting SteamVR as default OpenXR runtime ===
To set SteamVR as the default OpenXR runtime, you have to add the following snippet to your Home Manager config:
{{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|3=xdg.configFile."openxr/1/active_runtime.json".text = ''
  {
    "file_format_version": "1.0.0",
      "runtime": {
      "VALVE_runtime_is_steamvr": true,
      "library_path": "${config.home.homeDirectory}/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64/vrclient.so",
      "name": "SteamVR"
      }
  }
  '';
}}
