Seems SteamVR for Linux really is getting some more attention recently, after a number of fixes in the previous Beta we have a few more here.

Valve released SteamVR Beta 2.16.3 on April 13th with the Linux fixes this time focusing on VRLink which allows you to wirelessly stream games to certain VR sets via Steam Link including Meta, HTC and PICO Headsets.

The changelog:

SteamVR:



Add protection from hangs in vrserver on exit.
Speculative fix for Varjo headsets not having a display.

VRLink:



On Linux, pick the best GPU for VR and streaming rather than using first enumerated device. In particular, the NVIDIA open drivers enumerate in a different order and would not get selected before this change.
On Linux, work-around to enable 240 MBit/s streaming on NVIDIA cards.
Reduce performance overhead of Timing Debug Window.
Adjust packet timings to reduce latency spikes.

I really do hope we continue seeing more VR work from Valve on Linux, which has been left in quite a rough spot.
