Valve has been Linux friendly. It says the new steam frame "is a PC" and will run Steam OS but I feel like there's an insinuation that, like the steam deck, you can install whatever you like. I am cautiously excited at the premise of really digging in and having a Linux box strapped to my face.

Another friend has already referred to it as the Linux Vision Pro.

Edit: watching Linus tech tips review, it mentions side loading Android APKs as well

Take another look at the controller info. They have finger tracking and it looks like you can add accessories that will let you open your hand without dropping them.

Like I wrote in answer to the other comment. I might have misunderstood due to ignorance what the capacitive tracking was, I expected something more of a touch area in the bottom of the controller as indicated in the specification section. I'll need to look at the accessories and check the videos released. So far all I could do is check the description in steam. Anyway thanks for bringing it up, I found it weird they wouldn't support that.
