And I don't plan to switch back either. Everything is just better on Linux for me (sh.itjust.works)

SteamVR on Linux works out of the box if you have a Valve Index or a HTC Vive.

There are some others that work via ALVR but can't speak about that.

Two caveats though:

  • Valve likes to break SteamVR for Linux with every third update and then takes weeks to fix it
  • It works but there's a lot of issues with it. From incorrectly scaled UI, to missing features, to SteamVR Home not working for a year straight

Most of the time there are community workarounds but there's only so much they can do.
