Since Valve's SteamOS is Linux-based, then SURELY the Vive will work on Linux machines out of the box.
The lack of a Linux version of their VR Compatibility tool has made me a little nervous, though.
- dogma1138 11y agoSteamOS currently doesn't support SteamVR there were (unconfirmed AFAIK) plans for "day-one support" but last time I've checked (maybe a month ago) there isn't support for SteamVR-Vive (driver and software) yet in the beta version of SteamOS. There were also some comments from HTC last year that most of the SteamOS based Steam Machines could not support SteamVR in their current state so they will be focusing on the "core gamer" demographics initially. However it needs to be mentioned that even if Vive will support SteamOS it doesn't mean that it will have Linux support, all the binary parts of SteamOS including Steam, it's various components, drivers etc. are closed source.
