Valve has been Linux friendly. It says the new steam frame “is a PC” and will run Steam OS but I feel like there’s an insinuation that, like the steam deck, you can install whatever you like. I am cautiously excited at the premise of really digging in and having a Linux box strapped to my face.
Another friend has already referred to it as the Linux Vision Pro.
Edit: watching Linus tech tips review, it mentions side loading Android APKs as well
I’m very curious what the details are. A Linux Vision Pro sounds very enticing. It could be a lot of fun for inventing new user interaction modalities.
I know Valve is all about this. They insisted on having a USB port on the Index HMD just so people could attach dodads to it.
The SimulaVR headset is more that target (AR and spatial computing stuff). This is more standalone and PCVR streaming (monochrome cameras).
Though all their work opensource wise should make both headsets better
