  Its absolutely nuts if they launch this without the ability to stream from their own, Linux-based, hardware.

  The article doesnt explicity state that foveated streaming is nor supported on Linux, but it does go.our of it’s way to mention Windows in every instance it mentions streaming.

    "Your Steam Frame headset easily pairs with your Steam Controller; you’ll even see a virtual Steam Controller floating in your VR space. Stream from your PC, laptop, Steam Deck or Steam Machine for an immersive experience with any of your favorite games."

    So I take that as it does stream from Linux,

    I saw elsewhere that the feature is planned for launch but wasn’t available to reviewers

    I owned 2 quest headsets. The only time I used streaming was for alyx, and that runs natively here.

    Even in Windows, I struggled getting streaming working on quest.

    It’s not as big a deal for many like me as people think

      PC VR is a major part of the VR market, so it is important. I would never pay a single cent to Meta, so I have only used PC VR.

  I don’t understand the desire to not use a desktop PC for all the power it provides, but I’m not an everyday normal consumer. For a wireless VR set attached to a computer, it sounds lovely-- I’d like a cheaper, gutted version that’s strictly for streaming.

  But I suppose for now, I can stick to my Index, especially with prices for parts the way they are. I still much prefer it over Quest 3, tether and all.

    My desire is inhibited by my platform. It won’t have Linux support day 1, so just gotta deal with not using a desktop PC for the power it could provide.
