I've been fiddling around with ALVR for two weeks now and couldn't get it to run decent at all, with or without a cable. I'm running a Ryzen 9, 7800XT, and 64GB ram.

I tried WiVRn yesterday and it just works. I've tested Moss, AC Evo, Competizione, Beat Saber, Dirt Rally 2.0, HL: Alyx, Air Car, all of them run smooth as butter on 150%, 120hz. Except for AC Evo, but that game is still in early access so probably not quite optimized yet.

I’ll have to give it a go then, thanks!

Just make sure you use XRizer instead of OpenComposite for OpenVR compatibility as it's much more advanced at this point. You can also use OpenComposite as a secondary if a particular game doesn't work with XRizer.

For clarity, OpenVR is the historical standard for VR which is still used by some modern games, although more are supporting OpenXR, which WiVRN handles directly.

See also this compatibility list and the Linux VR Adventures wiki.
