I'd be willing to test!

Likely not from me even though I'd like to, sorry.

I am a X-Plane 11 Linux user that is currently using your OBS-OpenVR-Input-Plugin on Windows to stream VR content on Twitch. I want to migrate to Linux to do the same thing so do you think it would be possible to make a Linux version? I am willing to work on it if you think it is possible as I am a C++ plugin creator for X-Plane. Thanks Bill

I think it should be possible considering the OpenVR SDK has linux binaries. I'm just not sure if you can use D3D11 with linux to get the mirror texture from OpenVR?

Not D3D11, linux doesn't have it native. So it would need a wrapper with wine or something. But isn't the same functionality present in Vulkan? Linux has native vulkan libraries.

Really just depends on how the OpenVR SDK does it on linux, it may use Vulkan for obtaining the mirror texture. I haven't looked into it at all and not sure how it does it. I just know for the windows implementation it's getting it with the D3D11 library.
