I'd suggest you look at WiVRn and wlx-overlay-s if ALVR is giving you trouble, it uses openXR so you don't go through the troubles that steamVR has on Linux for standalone headset use

Sadly this is infeesable.
Virtual desktop is 4 parts in 1 makeing it's 2 modes. Desktop view, input emulation, oculus runtime, OpenXR runtime.
All of these facits would need a rewrite or replacement, makeing it infeesable for the small dev team and low potential user base.
Desktop view and control: https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/doc-org.freedesktop.portal.RemoteDesktop.html, in theory this API should work for the desktop portion of VD, however would require another rewritten streamer.
Oculus runtime: this is how VD talks to steamVR, this doesn't exist on Linux, therefore the steamVR interface would need an entire rewite
VDXR: the most likely thing to just actually work, Linux has openXR standards.
