Stream Steam VR games to your standalone VR-Headset: ALVR v20.0.0 released
A guess, but SteamVR can't recover from VR applications crashing causing all future ones to not work, might be Home crashing first. Try turning off Home, and restarting.

Need help getting SteamVR working properly
Yes, the beta - SteamVR Beta Update also has the same problem, but with extra bugs like this issue for "Shared IPC Compositor Init Failed (303)". The linux_v1.14 - Older build, for Linux users also has the same problem. The None beta version is the only one I can use, as it doesn't show the "Shared IPC Compositor Init Failed (303)" error.

I posted an issue on the SteamVR for Linux Github, but that's basically been abandoned so I'm trying my luck here.

I want to switch to linux, but I have some questions
What headset do you have? VR works great when it works, but the protocols on Linux don't play well with all headsets. If you have a Vive, Vive Pro, or Index, it should work well with SteamVR. Otherwise, you'll have to dig around and test yourself using something like OpenHMD or more likely Monado, which both have limited device support. In my search, I came across this page, which might help you out.

Linux genuinely gives me less issues than Windows
As a rare VR on Linux user, SteamVR for Linux is in a sad state and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's not extremely dedicated. The fact that it exists at all is a step up from other vendors but man is it a bad experience right now. Worse than it's been since the earliest days IMO
