Can you get it to work? Absolutely. However, you will have more framerate drops and glitchy graphics than in windows, and framerate drops in VR are 1000x worse than in non-VR because they make you motionsick as hell

Direct quote from the link you posted:

SteamVR

The de facto standard for anything PCVR, SteamVR runs on Linux.

Unfortunately the Linux version is riddled with bugs, missing features and bad performace, so in general it can be a subpar experience.

That’s why most people who use VR on Linux don’t use SteamVR and instead use Monado, like I do. Monado is FOSS as well.

There is a GUI program called “envision” which makes setup pretty easy, since it will also setup additional components for you.
