I really hope that I‘ll still be able to get a Steam Frame at a price that’s not too far beyond reasonable. I think that I‘d enjoy it as much as the steam deck, probably.

I‘m just really excited about the potential untethered-ness. I just don’t really have a space for a headset with cable, but this may just work.

@halcy untethered VR really is great, and I hope it'll be cheap enough for me to wanna replace my Pico 4

@halcy I'm actually more excited for a Linux face computer that folds down to a pretty compact package

@noiob yeah that too

and with x86 arm binary translation

@halcy well, you can have that today, FEX should be freely available, there was a cool C3 talk about some of the tricks they're doing

@halcy oh, and something I didn't know, Asahi Linux already ships FEX

@noiob oh yeah but not in the form factor and not with what if it is anything like the experience of running stuff on steamdeck a fairly polished and low-fuckaround experience

@halcy it should eventually work on any arm machine (for Steam games at least). There was a live demo!

@halcy I should really install Asahi on my Mac mini and try some stuff
