I’m most interested in the frame headset. It’s going to be running on a mobile chipset(snapdragon 8 gen3) but comes with an ARM version of their linux distro.
So along with streaming, it will also allow running windows applications on the device itself through an open source emulation layer called “fex”. This is going to propel adoption of ARM devices for pc gaming, maybe even on android phones.
And the device somehow also allows sideloading android APKs too.
This is great for a number of reasons, but I think the biggest benefit we’re going to see is more and more games supporting and running well on Linux

It’s crazy how small the Steam Machine is-
Performance-wise it might be between Xbox Series S and PS5
