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

They will sell optional controller straps, and the controllers have 5 finger capacitive tracking.

    So maybe it's ignorance on my part, but when I saw capacitive finger tracking I thought it meant as in "touch control" like you know, capacitive touch screens. Just as the deck has on the thumbsticks. But I guess making it strong enough you might be able to track the fingers at a further distance. I probably should check in the index controllers if they call it also capacitive tracking.

    I'm a bit surprised about the optional straps... It feels like a mandatory thing for VR... :/
