Ok, so I have Kubuntu installed running wayland and setup steamvr. The first few times it gave me the screen sharing portal, but through NOT reading carefully I accidentally setup all screens as the same one instead of the 2 different displays and 1 mirror display. OBS has this wonderful little button to trigger this to open to change which screen is shared, does anyone know how to do this for steamvr? (if you need info plz supply the command to retrieve it) I will say that wayland is working great for me so far except for my error, out of the 6 vr games I have tested (they ran badly on my previous system) only Into the Radius 2 has a slight flashing/flickering issue the other games that were almost or completely unplayable under my last system (RTX 4070ti super) are smooth as butter now.

I have temporarily gone back to X11 due to not being able to access my desktop through WLX-Overlay-s. Any help would be appreciated.

Find Steam or Stean VR in that list, click on it and then you should see a button "Screen Sharing:" "Manage 1 Session"
