Most interesting thing to me is the Frame apparently runs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and is using SteamOS, implying official ARM support for SteamOS, Steam and Proton! Could mean steam and proton coming to android too.
hopefully this makes ARM-based Linux handhelds more suitable too! that would be awesome
On the Linus Tech Tips video they revealed that it is using the open-source FEX x86 emu (which development supported by Valve).
Unsure that it runs the games.
I’ve seen it called a “wireless streaming” HMD.
They mention also wanting to run games on it locally with SteamOS. Plus it’s a beefy ARM processor. They coulda saved quite a bit with a lower end processor if it was gonna be solely wireless steaming.
The LTT showcase literally mentions LEX. An x86 to ARM translation add-on for Proton.
This is insane.
Both
They extended Proton with instruction translation (FEX)
Operating System SteamOS 3 (Arch-based)
They can’t stop meming (calling arch based, also, pointing out it uses arch btw)
“And it is a computer… You can do whatever you want with your computer, who are we to say anything?” OUCH
I’m really excited, and my wallet is scared
