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

I haven't tried it myself yet, but I've heard that steam vr does not work well on Linux. Is that still the case? Occasional vr is the only thing keeping me from nuking my windows install.

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.

Running Steam VR using Proton works great for me.

Works great. Very occasionally I get an error (black screen) requiring me to disconnect and reconnect the display port adapter but I get the same occasional nonsense with my regular monitor too so 🤷.

Usually that happens after new Nvidia drivers too so...
