          I don’t think you’re in any position to guarantee that, and people should not spend $1,000+ on a feature that does not yet exist.

          Valve is running the first lottery on Sep. 17 and giving selectees 72 hours to purchase. They tend to ship out hardware pretty fast after that. I think I got my Steam Controller within 5 days of purchase.

        I don’t know if that’s a definite, vs not being able to stream from a steam machine specifically. You can already stream from linux pcs to other headsets, so I think the limitation is gamemode right now.

      As of today on Linux SteamVR:

      • desktop preview does not work on Wayland DEs
      • dropped frames cause reprojection errors causing visual stutters
      • dropped frames cause “vsync_to_photon” timing errors thus causing input lag/drunken vision
      • exiting any VR game crashes SteamVR Dashboard and sometimes desktop Steam UI too
      • SteamVR sometimes launches legacy UI with missing features
      • SteamVR frequently fails to launch
      • SteamVR does a partial “silent launch” - no desktop confirmation of VR running, but you see image inside of a headset
      • SteamVR can’t automatically switch audio device to headset speakers, nor supports audio mirroring

      Issues which don’t apply to Steam Frame but are still technically issues on legacy “Linux supported” headsets:

      • Base Station power management does not work (Vive 1.0/Index 2.0)
      • Room preview/cameras do not work
      • Volume buttons do not work (HTC Vive Pro)

      And probably many more issues I’m missing

      An extra note the other user didn’t mention: no official support for 360 treadmills due to the hardware manufacturers not giving a shit. One dude figure out how to get a KAT Walk C2+ working on Bazzite/Nobara though: https://github.com/BBPSBB/katwalk-linux

      Honestly not a big deal for most people. But I have a dream of eventually setting one of these up for a heavily modded Skyrim VR
