### SteamVR Dashboard not rendering in VR on Nvidia discrete GPU
If you encounter issues with the SteamVR dashboard not rendering in VR you may need to run the entire steam client itself via PRIME render offload. First close the steam client completey if you have it open already, you can do so by clicking the Steam dropdown in the top left and choosing exit. Then from a terminal run: `__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia steam-runtime`

## Wayland

When using old Gnome (< 47 version) under Wayland you might need to put `WAYLAND_DISPLAY='' %command%` into the SteamVR commandline options to force XWayland on SteamVR. This fixes issue with drm leasing not being available.
