Man that's rougher than I expected. 0/3, either we got really unlucky or supply vs. demand is way out of whack :(

Email from Valve: You are on the waitlist for Steam Frame 256GB Kit. When we did the one-time randomization of the list, your place in line ended up beyond the number of Steam Frames currently available for reservation. As we work our way through the reservation queue, some customers may cancel their reservations. If that happens, you may be moved into the reservation queue, and you'll be notified via email that you have a reservation after all.

I haven't gotten an email yet. That's a good sign, right?

    I got on the reservation list and managed to purchase the Frame around 2 hours ago. I'm sorry for everyone, that is on the waitlist :3

    I too was waitlisted. I run exclusively Linux at this point though, so happy for them to get the vr experience there ironed out.

    Considering a pimax dream air se but, different niche (I have a good desktop though) and I’m not sure the slam tracking is good enough and how compatible it is with Linux.

    I am halfway through, I've got 2 PCs and one has been converted to linux only. I do some VR on it, but it's a struggle.

    I've got a Quest 3. Steam Link / Steam VR is completely unusable for me. I am using WiVRn on linux, along with WayVR for the UI/desktop access.

    It has problems on a few games but it works great on the rest (Beat Saber, Synth Riders, Walkabout Minigolf,...)

    Meta's basically lost all interest in VR after they got that nobody wanted their shitty metaverse. The lack of Quest support by both steam and meta is a major reason for me to want the Frame. Especially for Linux.

    I'm on the waitlist too.

    Silver lining, it might be better to let others test the first batch, and maybe by the time we get ours it'll have some problems ironed out.
