Problem

I created a .desktop shortcut for one of my beatsaber instances and the exec line came in a bit malformed with the PRESSURE_VESSEL_IMPORT_OPENXR_1_RUNTIMES=1 line required by Wivrn appended at the end instead of as part of the environment variables. These shortcuts also are not picked up by Wivrn without being placed in a correct folder or with a certain category set within the .desktop file.

Solution

The formation of the environment variable needs to come before the executable, not afterward. I would also like to see if it were possible to add a Categories=X-WiVRn-VR line to the .desktop files so that Wivrn will pick up the application automatically when connected, and a copy of the .desktop file placed in ~/.local/share/applications/ for it to be picked up by wivrn automatically.
