How is Linux support for VR in general? I wonder if Valve looked at the ecosystem and decided Linux support at this time would be volunteering to boil the ocean.

Not bad, actually. We test with the Vive and the Index. If your distro has up to date drivers, it works well on both Nvidia (proprietary) and AMD. Nvidia is a little easier to set up, as there's only one real choice of driver, but AMD isn't bad either. Game support is obviously lesser than Windows, but a good number of games run well in Steam Play/Proton. That includes Beat Saber, which is probably the most popular VR game on the market.
