Only reason I haven't done that is because of VR. Not sure if VR works through flatpak.
SteamVR works on Linux? What headset, if I may ask?
Works perfectly fine, actually. I have a Valve Index. The only headsets with Linux support are the one I have, the HTC Vive and standalone headsets that work with ALVR (e.g. the Quest ones).
Anything special you needed to do? I have the HTC Vive, and I've tried a few times over the years, without any success. Last time was about 2-3 years ago.
It should just work. You install SteamVR through Steam, start it and it should detect the headset.
