I haven't been hyped for anything like I am for the steam frame in years. Really just the idea Linux might finally be getting proper VR support is more than exciting.

Yeah, if it's really under 1K, I'm going to get one as immediately as possible. I'm still rocking my OG Vive.

I haven't seen anywhere, and maybe this is a stupid question, but can you use it with Steam Deck? I'm guessing not, and that's not a problem, I switched to Linux from Windows on my desktop recently and this was such great news to hear because I'm losing my Vive with Windows.

But it would be crazy cool if you could.

There wouldn't be anything stopping you but it won't provide a much better experience than the already built-in hardware and won't run anything but basic VR apps at the resolution and frame rate required.

I'm losing my Vive with Windows.

You should check out Monado via Envision! I'm still using my Vive on Linux through this open source VR stack and it works pretty well.
