Comment on Steam Frame is Poised for Launch as Units Begin Reaching the US

I just want this to push devs to crack the meta headsets wide open. Unlock the bootloader, let me flash SteamOS. I don’t want new hardware but I do want to be free of meta and the quest is the only thing keeping me there, even if it’s with a throw away account.

Fucking please. I have an index but bought a quest for my wife to be able to play with me and meta support is far and away the WORST support experience I have had in my entire life. It’s comically bad. Also steam link with the quest is rough, and I fucking refuse to give meta any money for games so it’s basically shelved at the moment.

I don’t know what else to bring in the house, but if you have a gaming rig and happe to run Linux I’ve had great success with ALVR for two years, then recently WiVRn. Both are wireless streaming solutions that replace Steam VR/Steam Link and according to my friends who also run Quest 3s I get way better performance. Obviously your mileage may vary with hardware/network etc. but it’s better then not using your gear.

It was, but I built from their git. 😁

I did a test run of bazzite on a SHIT laptop that deserves to be thrown in the trash and it was a more or less positive experience for general gaming. When I installed it on my main rig, literally no steam games would launch and I honestly couldn’t be assed to troubleshoot at the time.

If you have weird issues with fps/resolution with a Quest over steam link or any PCVR stuff, make sure it’s using the correct API for Steam (like alvr or Steam’s own thing) and not the meta one.
