Steam Beta Update Fixes Long-Standing Linux VR Annoyance

I'd be much more excited if they could finally fix the instantaneous segfault due to an munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0xf770d730 error that suddenly cropped up three months ago and prevents me from even running the client.
As long as the GCN 1.0-1.1 GPUs are stuck at experimental Vulkan support, I can't do anything VR related anyway (I'm not going to bother compiling my own kernel or drivers - too tedious for how few things I have that can take advantage of it). It's cool that SteamVR in Linux is in fact detecting my OSVR, but there isn't a working display yet.
