This is a sample script to fix an issue with steam breaking DRI_PRIME and QT_QPA_PLATFORM
commands from working together in some distros.


Place in alvr_streamer_linux/bin folder where the alvr_dashboard binary is.

Be sure to change the commands and steamvr vrmonitor.sh path as needed.

make it executably by typing chmod +x steamvr_linux.sh
