A small SteamVR beta is out that fixes an OpenGL crash with the AMD radv drivers and it also fixes support for the Vive Pro on Linux.
Here's what's changed:
SteamVR Home
- Fixed large PNG backgrounds failing to load
Linux
- Fixed a crash with OpenGL clients on recent radv drivers
- Fixed Vive Pro support
As pointed out in our comments, it's a little odd mentioning OpenGL and radv, since radv is the Vulkan driver. Essentially, even OpenGL games will end up hooking into Vulkan with SteamVR.
It's interesting that they say they "Fixed Vive Pro support", going over past changelogs it seems this is the first time the Vive Pro has even been mentioned in relation to Linux. This is good to know for those who can afford it that you will be able to use it on Linux. See more about the Vive Pro here.

Well there is many opensource AMD projects now, and older hardware has better compatibility with say radeonsi vs amdgpu. Its not a bad thing but sure can be confusing.
Its believed AMDGPU OSS driver is the best option if you have any amd hardware from the past 4 years (like 280x+).
