Valve released the latest update to SteamVR bringing with it a good few fixes, although most of it is for Steam Link. This follows on from a few recent Beta releases.
Im confused with Steam VR for linux. I cant seem to get it to work, and the FAQs page says vr streaming for linux isn't ready yet. So are these updates just in preparation for a future working capability?
It definitely works if you are willing to tinker but we are a low priority and anything that breaks takes a long time to fix. There’s even another project called Envision which runs better than SteamVR but isn’t as easy to use yet.
