HTC Vive and Linux user reporting in, working fine in VR here! I'm not sure if I'm getting the full performance compared to Win7, but I don't really wanna boot into Win7 to compare.
One odd thing is that "VR Ultra" appears to have higher framerate than "VR Low". Not sure what's up with that.
For AMD Linux users, I strongly recommend grabbing Radeon Profile and set mode to "High" while playing. (Also add a custom fan curve, the default is rubbish and lets the GPU overheat too easily.) ACO is pretty good too. And don't forget to grab Feral's gamemode to tune the kernel for performance while playing.
There's a kernel patch coming up that's supposed to focus CPU use on a few cores instead of spreading it out, allowing sustained use of boost frequencies. That might turn out to be a boon for games, especially on multicore systems like Ryzen.
