Hopefully, this means an official release of SteamOS Desktop. I want to switch away from Windows 11 IoT, if I can get a flavor of Linux with official backing from an 800lb gaming gorilla. While I can try out Bazzite or Cachy, I would prefer to have only one Linux for the rest of my PC's life.

Would have stuck with Windows, if it weren't for the fact that Microsoft has been channeling the spirit of an overly controlling parent.

Steam Frame is interesting. Would love a non-Meta VR headset that doesn’t cost $1k and also doesn’t have a million wires and base stations.

Why does the controller look very uncomfortable to use? I hope it's not.

Im hyped for a new vr headset.

FEX is the most exciting thing for me!

I’m really hoping that the price of the vr headset meets or beats the Facebook models.

Definitely will be grabbing the Steam Machine when it releases.

One question I have about the cube is will it be capable of doing full DRM streaming services like Netflix? Most living room systems have that, but doing it on an open linux system somehow would be novel.

Ok but HL3 wen

16GB RAM, tho?

I’m curious about the “it’s a PC” aspect of the Steam Box. Because a device that plays all Steam games but isn’t a Windows computer is extremely appealing, but I admit if I can’t install a few non-Steam games on it, that’s a spoiler for me. But if the whole “it’s a PC” provides some avenue to that, I’m definitely ready to stop building a gaming PC every 5 years.

Any educated guesses, or layman guesses, about the price?

My layman guess is 600-800, the low price being same price as the top end steam deck on release
