Does Valorant work on Linux?

Nope, Valorant doesn't officially support Linux. It's a Windows exclusive, which means you can only play it on Windows operating systems. The game uses a kernel-level anti-cheat system that doesn't play well with Linux. Some folks have tried workarounds with virtual machines or Wine, but results can be hit or miss, and it's not supported by Riot Games.

Just to add, trying to run Valorant on Linux through unofficial methods might get you banned. Riot's pretty strict about their anti-cheat, Vanguard. Better safe than sorry!

No, and don't bother with the workarounds. Not worth the headache and the potential ban hammer.
