Hello @sudosl-h, right now the SteamVR Experimental Graphics PPA only provides packages for Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy". Zorin OS 16.3 looks like it's based on Ubuntu 20.04 "Focal" and this looks like a general failure because there's no packages in the PPA for your fork of Ubuntu.
That explains quite a bit now doesnt it... Damn. Well thank you very much
for your reply. With that, youve already been more helpful than the valve
support team.

Experimental drivers to help test new features related to SteamVR.
All packages in this PPA are considered alpha grade. Expect quirks and limitations.
They are provided as-is without warranty of any kind. You have been warned.
This PPA provides no significant benefit to Ubuntu 22.04. The kernel build currently contains some minor performance optimizations that are nice to have, but it is not required.
Kernel bits:
sudo apt install linux-generic-steamvr-20.04
Vulkan bits:
sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386
Move/remove /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json to make sure SteamVR uses the AMD gpu. This may need to be redone on every mesa update.
sudo mv /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json.disabled
Package status:
libdrm: Bumping as needed for mesa
linux: Following Ubuntu mainline
linux-firmware: Following Ubuntu non-LTS as needed
llvm-toolchain: Targeting latest point release
mesa: Targeting latest point release
Removal:
Reboot onto a mainline kernel (or manually remove the PPA kernel afterwards)
sudo apt install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:kisak/steamvr
