I figure this wasn't responded to because Unity development is currently not supported, according to the readme. Hopefully that changes soon, since there's so much Unity VR development going on.
Good question. In Unity 2017.2 they started enabling their XR support on Linux again but I think it still had a bug where it didn't work with some multisampling settings.
With 2017.3 it seems to work decently for the few things I tried. Here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN_Ut4yiN3o. I changed the title of this issue to reflect it only seems to be happening with the sample scene from the SteamVR plugin, which worked in 2017.2. In 2018b01 it's still broken btw.
But since neither Valve nor Unity has actually announced that Unity is supporting VR on Linux again it's a good question whether there is actually official support.
So I tried the 2017.3.0f1 version "3c89f8d277f5" from this post https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-on-linux-release-notes-and-known-issues.350256/page-2#post-3313793
Made a new project, imported the SteamVR plugin from the asset store, set the renderer to Vulkan and exported a build with the demo scene from the plugin. Here it is: https://haagch.frickel.club/files/unity-2017.3f1-vrtest.tar.xz
The preview in the Unity editor works, but running the exported build does not work. It shows the splash screen and then aborts.
The same procedure worked in their latest 2017.2 version.
and the unity log file says
