Changing SteamVR bindings while using WiVRn?

this is a question i've searched for for a WHILE now, with absolutely zero results. basically, i want to play vivecraft through WiVRn and successfully can... except, the default controls are insane and the only way to change them is with SteamVR. but WiVRn doesn't use SteamVR...

is there some kind of official solution that isn't just installing SteamVR & ALVR? that combination is currently completely broken for a lot of people, including myself, so that's just not an option.

EDIT: solved! i did some crtl+f in a vr discord and found this, a subheader on the xrizer page on the linux vr adventures wiki. it's a little weird to do but it works https://wiki.vronlinux.org/docs/fossvr/xrizer/#rebinding-controls

How is the AUR a major "pro" of Arch, if you're also meant to barely use it?

i've been daily-driving arch for a pretty long time now, mostly because i don't like being too far behind on application or DE updates. after all of the AUR problems that just happened, i started doing some research on other distros because i realized arch isn't really for me.

however, i realized that in my original switching-to-arch research and my current switching from it research, everyone always says that arch is much better than anything else due to the AUR. but, with all of the recent AUR problems, i've seen people say that people rely too much on the AUR, and that using it at all is actually a problem.

i don't get it! i'm interested in a lot of niche programs that can only be found either through building from source, deb packages, or the AUR. obviously i would then use the AUR to install them, is what i thought at least?

if you're curious, my main two options for switching right now are between Fedora KDE and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and i'm leaning towards Tumbleweed. seems like a good in between point of newer programs and safety

Quest 3s shut down and now won't turn on or show any lights

hi! i got a quest 3s a while back and i've been playing it on and off ever since (i last played it about a week or two back). today i turned it on, but only had a few seconds in the menu before it froze up and shut off, like how it does when it runs out of battery, so i just assumed it was on low battery last time i played or something.

i left it charging for a while (steam deck charger, it charges faster than the default & everywhere online says it's fine), and it had the orange charging light for a while until it switched off, so i assumed it was done charging.

but when i unplugged it and tried turning it on... absolutely nothing happens. i held the power button for 30 seconds, nothing. power & volume for 30 seconds, nothing. tried plugging it back in for a bit, but no lights ever came on. tried the original charger, nothing. i then tried blip charging (plugging it in for 5 seconds, then unplugging it, then plugging in again for 5 seconds, repeat) and that also did nothing.

what do i do here? it WAS charging fine before it just stopped for some reason. it couldn't have been the steam deck charger as i've had this thing about half of the year and almost exclusively use that charger to charge it, and i've had zero issues with it.

hi! i currently have a website, and i know my main home page is indexed by google because if i search the first sentence with quotes, it shows up. however, none of the subpages are indexed! does anyone know if google actually indexes subpages of websites?

my navigation IS with an iframe right now, but i've heard google's crawlers are smart enough to look at iframes & javascript. and it kinda has to be an iframe so i don't have to update over 12 pages every time i add a new page.

i ask because i have a topic (an ARG i like) i want to make a giant subpage about, but i don't actually know if it'll be discoverable on google. i don't want to make a whole big thing just for no one to see it!
