So if the Linux fallback for Verdana is Bitstream Vera Sans, what's the
Linux fallback for Arial?

True, but these days nearly every Linux distribution ships the free
Bitstream Vera font set, which includes a sans-serif with metrics
similar to Verdana. Also, the "core web fonts" are typically available
as an easily-installed package for most distributions, which will
provide Verdana and other fonts. I've found that the following works
well for providing compatibility to Linux users (and as a full-time
Linux user for a number of years, I can personally attest to its
effectiveness):
Verdana, "Bitstream Vera Sans", "Lucida Sans", sans-serif
