Does anybody have an idea what this could be?
I’m going to go against the grain and say it’s their VR hardware they’ve been sitting on for years now.
Steam Frame, and then calling glasses “frames” is common.
Either case it seems like a bad name, but I’d reckon it’s their VR/AR device.
Edit: also to add they’ve been working a lot on Proton for ARM as of late, as well as proton in general which they initially set out Proton as being a universal translation layer, not just x86-64.My guess is a pre-built PC or AR device. Latter is more unlikely since it would substantially overlap with their Index market.
EDIT: A PC makes more sense given the strides they’ve made with Proton recently.
Another idea is a platform for in-place movement while using the index? Seems a little more out there given VR has fallen off the map a little recently.
Exciting. I’m not interested in a PC but that’d be good if it had a 9060xt in it. Be a good boost to FSR4 adoption and it’d be a nice baseline for AAA games for the normal gamer that just wants plug and play. 1080-1440 native and 4k FSR would be good with that for the newest high end AAA games. RX 7600 not bad either for most games though including up to 4k. Just those pesky AAA games at native 4k. If it’s a standalone VR headset, I would likely buy that
My wife said it’s a Samsung Frame TV with SteamOS streaming built in…
Not sure how believable I feel on that one…

While I think such a device is plausible in general, I don’t think Samsung would want to hand a “Frame” related TV trademark to a 3rd party.
See that’s what I was thinking… Plus that isn’t Valves usually MO
would be sick if it was a phone running linux.
i think theyre probably the only company that could make it work.
Technically android is running on Linux, Google’s even adding an official Linux terminal that can run Linux apps.
I’d rather have linux than android. I don’t consider them the same thing. If they were we should be able to run android and linux programs interchangeably without middle-wear, but we can’t because they aren’t the same.
Android is a heavily modified linux kernel but that’s it.
As is Mac Os. Of you still call it Linux ?
Isn’t that based on BSD?
