- Comment on Probability that the next steam deck is arm based? 2 days ago:
They didn’t really have a choice for the Frame, due to the inside-out tracking features requiring image processing stuff most easily available in those Qualcomm chips. But sure, in a few years when there might be a Steam Deck successor, they will probably weight their options also based on how well FEX did on the Frame. The chances will be probably higher if some 3rd party developers port SteamOS to some currently Android based handhelds.
- Comment on Steam Frame Using Mesa's Turnip Vulkan Open-Source Driver 1 week ago:
Actually, often the are available, but of such low code quality and depending on various out of tree changes in the Linux kernel that it is easier to rewrite them if you want to get them into mainline Linux.
- Comment on Steam Machine – Powerful Enough? 1 week ago:
Yeah, I don’t really get why people complain about the 8gb VRAM. The GPU isn’t fast enough to push native 4k anyway and at lower resolutions 8gb is sufficient for gaming. I have a similar GPU in my PC and never had any issues with the 8gb in 1080p, and I suspect at 1440p it is also still fine.
- Comment on Steam Machine – Powerful Enough? 1 week ago:
It recently really increase in price, which is probably why Valve doesn’t want to announce prices yet.
- Comment on Plasma-Bigscreen for Desktop Mode on a TV 1 week ago:
Yeah, I hope the qt6 version comes to the Fedora repos soon. Was really disappointed when the qt5 version seemed discontinued for a long time.
Maybe this will end up on the Steam Machine as the primary non-Steam UI? Would explain why there is renewed developer interest.

Only the display name.

Neat. Now we need someone to completely jailbreak the Occulus devices so that we can install a custom android rom or GNU Linux on it.
Mainline Linux support for those Qualcomm chips is already not bad.
