Did you read through the wiki, especially the linux troubleshooting page? Note that the first entry there will always be needed currently due to SteamVR being annoying

I read through and tried some of the solutions and am still having issues.
I barely remember if I tried the first entry but I'm pretty sure I did, I'm a while away from my house currently so I'll try to get back to you and double check.

well I THOUGHT I tried that, it starts up and works-ish, but now it's just slow in the headset specifically.
preview it shows as pretty decent frames but it lags in the headset.
