What is SteamVR Home?
SteamVR Home is an interactive virtual space that you can explore and customize to your liking. Environments support animation, sound, games, and you can teleport around and explore locations created by the community.
It has social features built in too, so you can invite friends over to your home space. You can also launch VR games from here and more.

Good to see Valve pushing VR support on Linux further along.
I'm still sad about how expensive VR headsets are, it's basically a pipe dream for me right now so we likely won't have any VR reviews here. Valve said they couldn't provide me with one and HTC themselves have never replied to me. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I tried it earlier today, but it was broken for me. Once it displayed a bench, but the tracking wasn't working. All the other times the headset was just showing black.

I love the push they do on this now - apparently it's got focus. I'm still hoping for a fully fledged VR experience sometime this year, although I will have to adjust my initial hopes of it happening this summer.

Does anyone have any pointers on how to make the old Oculus Development Kit 1 run on Linux? I haven't found anything yet.

Would be nice if Debian Stretch would get the newer nVidia drivers so it'd work out of the box. Not sure if they have plans to do so or not yet.
I test mine out in Arch Linux, and basically we just need more games / engines with Vulkan support.
I also noticed that SteamVR for Linux is no longer in a 'beta' channel.

Nah, its the exactly the same as destinations.

As stated before, it's basically Destinations, but I think it's pretty genius how Valve seems to be integrating it into the SteamVR home menu. Otherwise, I wouldn't really bother using it. Exploring Kakariko Village (an area from Zelda OOT that was put in the Steam Workshop) is quite fun, and the ability to visit friends in their own "home screens" is pretty neat.
