Linux Tech Tips just dropped a review of the Valve Frame—and it confirms exactly what I suspected:
This thing is a massive leap in VR technology. Valve has done what Meta, Apple, and Microsoft all tried—and failed—to do: make an actually good VR headset.
They pulled it off using camera-based eye tracking, wireless streaming, foveated rendering, and FEX—a project that ported Proton to ARM processors. Which, yes, means PC gaming now runs on Snapdragon chips. SteamOS has officially been ported to ARM.
His verdict? The industry should be terrified. And honestly, it should be. Facebook rebranded to Meta because it was betting everything on VR. The Apple Vision Pro was hyped as Cupertino’s next iPhone moment. Yet both fell flat.
Meta alone burned through $17.7B chasing this dream.
And now Valve—a company with only a few hundred employees—looks like the one that’s actually making VR happen.

I'm surprised that many people just seem to realize that the golden cage by #Apple is actually a golden cage! 🤷What have you thought when you decided for that (overpriced) #lockin situation?Of course, an #iOS device doesn't really belong to you. It's not up to you which apps you may install. You can't decide on delayed update slots. It's Apple's #cloud only. And Apple's history of business decisions is full of statements that are purely for the benefit of excluding alternatives for political and economic reasons.Apple will never be on your side. It will always be on the side of it's shareholders and - of course - any US dictatorship that will be in power.If this doesn't fit your set of requirements, get rid of Apple devices and use something else as long as Google hasn't destroyed #Android as well. With #Pixel (8+) and #GrapheneOS, you have the most power over your device+data, at the moment.https://karl-voit.at/2021/01/18/tool-choices/#ICE #ICEblock #publicvoit #PIM #privacy
