It looks like valve is working on, and close to achieving, wireless VR on linux. They've had it working on windows since forever with what they call "vrlink", but it now seems like that's finally making it to linux.1

I've been working on hacking it together myself, but noticed that they steam had overwritten my driver in the newest update. I looked into it the binaries, and they seem to indicate that they've successfully ported the whole shebang to linux and vulkan.

Currently they're not distributing the necessary spirv shaders. That could be due to some contractual relationship with AMD, since they were using AMD's now deprecated AMF library on windows.
