    I hope it’s the frame next. I want one of those bad boys.

      Me too. It’s been years now since I sold my Index. Any idea what the state of VR on Linux is? My ecosystem looks very different than it did back then 😅

        The Steam Frame must work. The entire point is that it works with the Steam Machine, which is Linux. I don’t know about other VR on Linux, but I trust at least the Frame is fine.

        I’m doing pc to quest 3 via wivrn and it’s pretty decent. Games all run. Sometimes you need to switch between xrizer and opencomposite. Some devs release in a still very unstable state but that’s an issue with the game devs. There is no convenient and easy to understand way to remap controls though. Control remapping is the biggest selling point for me after ditching meta.

    I wish they’d just do what frame.work does. Pre-order and kill scalpers by letting everyone order it and just push back delivery. Then everyone gets one and it pretty much kills scalping because people can just wait for it.

      They did this with the OG steam deck release

    It’ll be the Steam Controller orders. Valve wouldn’t want to personally sit in stock for long as storage isn’t cheap. The timing aligning with yesterdays launch makes sense of it.

      Something I read suggested the controllers has a different order title
