Long story short. I’ve worked in IT since 1998, my first computer was a PC-XT, and before that I had a thing that only Brazil had (HotBit from Sharp).
I had to achieve an equilibrium between work and home.
So, now I work on a MacBook Pro and I ssh to the servers I need (I’m a - mostly - Oracle DBA). At home I have an XBox Series X to play games.
I don’t want a PC. I want things simple.
I’ll probably buy the SteamDeck (or the GabeCube) and this VR.
What is a PC for you, though? Steam Frame is a full on computer running Linux, as well as Steam Deck. Nothing prevents you from running basically anything on them. But the same could be said about your MacBook that you already own.
So, if I understood this correctly, it’s a stand alone product, it doesn’t need a PC or anything to work. Right?
Both works. It has a builtin ARM based PC running SteamOS but it also comes with a 6GHz dongle allowing you to stream from your PC wirelessly.
I don’t have or want a PC, but I’m willing to buy a Steam Deck if necessary. That’s why this is very interesting.
Steam deck is not powerful enough to run vr games at playable fps, I got like 20 fps in vrchat on steam deck in vr
That’s a very strange opinion to read on programming.dev’s Linux Lemmy community

If you do decide to get the Steam Machine, you can stream from there to get a lot more out of the Steam Frame than what it can do standalone.
Their newly announced Steam Machine also can do the same thing in your living room, but provide a console-like setup.
Not only is it Standalone, it has a linux emulator that can run pc games.
Not just any Linux emulator, but an ARM to x86 emulator as well named FLEX

That was my read on it, not sure how I feel about it, I’d be happy enough with vr/ar/display glasses just hooked into the new gabe-box
Gabecube?
Fuck, Nintendo lawsuits be damned, they missed a trick not calling it that
I wouldn’t be surprised if they internally called it that
