The experimental SteamOS/Linux support was added as part of the latest SteamVR Beta update released today, which introduces quite a bunch of feature refinements and bug fixes to improve SteamVR and SteamVR Home, both of which are currently in Beta testing. For those unfamiliar with SteamVR Home, it’s Valve’s latest piece of technology, announced last week, which tries to implement a richer version of Steam Client’s desktop interface that offers functional social interaction between you and your friends using SteamVR. SteamVR Home is enabled when you opt into SteamVR Beta.
