SteamVR on Linux as of now is a joke, features necessary to experience VR without getting nausea are missing, namely working asynchronous reprojection and correct vsync_to_photon timings.
I'm using HTC Vive Pro on Arch Linux (one of 4 SteamVR native headsets) for context.
There is an open-source alternative called Monado which does work better than SteamVR, but it's game compatibility is a hit or miss, and you don't get features like Chaperone/Guardian on it
