      even more nuts is that it will support pc games via FEX, an emulation layer that runs x86 windows games on ARM in Linux

      In addition to streaming from your battlestation

              I’m sure they’ll be as aggressive with price as the Steam Deck was. The tiny battery and knuckles hand tracking being an optional accessory this time suggest that.

                Frankly it all three are logical next steps. With the way windows is going, valve needs to decouple it’s store from the windows dependency. The deck was the tester, now we get the not so cheep next generation

        They talked about streaming VR games from the SteamOS based steam machine to it.

        So with that I’d assume we’re finally getting some much needed progress to SteamVR on linux.

          Yeah, this is what I’m most looking forward to in the immediate sense tbh. It’ll be nice to play HLA without crashing every time it loads a new level as it currrently does for me in SteamVR (Monado doesn’t have this issue, but I can’t use my left-handed controls without Steam input :-|)

        pretty sure it’s SteamOS, an Arch Linux derivative, on a fairly popular Snapdragon platform. probably not too difficult to hack on it.
