Optimism around the Steam Frame (infosec.pub)

Valve has been Linux friendly. It says the new steam frame "is a PC" and will run Steam OS but I feel like there's an insinuation that, like the steam deck, you can install whatever you like. I am cautiously excited at the premise of really digging in and having a Linux box strapped to my face.

Another friend has already referred to it as the Linux Vision Pro.

Edit: watching Linus tech tips review, it mentions side loading Android APKs as well

A Linux Vision Pro sounds very enticing

The resolution (and price) is substantially lower than an Apple Vision Pro.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Frame

Dual 2160 × 2160 LCD (per eye), 72–144 Hz (144 Hz experimental)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Vision_Pro

Introductory price: US$3,499

Internal: ~3660×3200 per eye[3] dual OLED up to 100 Hz (M2) or 120 Hz (M5) refresh rate,

    It's a good start and has everything necessary for it, I guarantee a nice xr wayland compositor will exist for this in no time, and when they make the frame 2 it will likely be ready for xr as a usecase, all they really need is color passthrough and microoled, maybe higher fov and it'll be there.
