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

That is on the steam machine page, not the steam frame.

The frame page says

Quick suspend/resume. Cloud saves. All the features of SteamOS that make for a great user experience are now available in VR. Just like any SteamOS device, install your own apps, open a browser, do what you want: It's your PC.

Still, very similar... But not quite explicitly stating the OS is replaceable.
