+## Applying a kernel patch (for Vive Pro 2, Bigscreen Beyond)
+
+### Arch
+
+1. download the patch(es), then follow the steps on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel/Arch_build_system,
+    which should be roughly: `mkdir ~/build/` -> `cd ~/build/` -> `pkgctl repo clone --protocol=https linux` -> `cd linux`
+2. (section 2 of link) open `PKGBUILD` in that directory and modify the `pkgbase` line (at the top) to read e.g. "`pkgbase=linux-customvr`". then add a line containing "`<patchfilename>.patch`" to the `source` array:
+
+```pkgbuild
+source=(
+  https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v${pkgver%%.*}.x/${_srcname}.tar.{xz,sign}
+  <patchfilename>.patch
+  $url/releases/download/$_srctag/linux-$_srctag.patch.zst{,.sig}
+  config  # the main kernel config file
+)
+```
+
+4. close `PKGBUILD`. (may not be necessary but i ran `updpkgsums`) -> `makepkg -s --skippgpcheck` (i didn't feel like fixing a pgp error)
+5. then section 4 of https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel/Arch_build_system#Installing and restart
+
+### NixOS
+
+1. download the patch(es)
+2. add this to your configuration.nix or other nix file you use:
+```nix
+  boot.kernelPatches = [
+    {
+      name = "type what the patch is for here";
+      patch = /path/to/patch/file.patch;
+    }
+  ];
+```
