A Linux user expresses concerns about the Steam Frame VR headset despite being interested in purchasing it. The author, who migrated entirely to Linux and appreciates Valve's Proton project for gaming, worries that the Frame may not adequately support Linux despite running a Linux variant, creating anxiety around whether to buy the thousand-dollar device.
Valve released SteamOS 0.3.0 for Steam Frame, significantly improving charging speed from 8W to over 40W, addressing a major complaint about slow battery charging that plagued early reviews. The update also fixed controller tracking, microphone audio issues, and motion smoothing problems while expanding developer compatibility criteria.
