VR on Ubuntu

Has Ubuntu gotten any better about running VR applications? I remember there were some issues with running VR applications that required some troubleshooting/workarounds to get SteamVR working on Ubuntu:

So I'm just wondering if those issues have been patched out of Ubuntu with updates since that time. (The article is like several years old.)

For purposes of this discussion, assume we're talking about people using a linux compatible VR headset like the Valve Index.
