      They talked about streaming VR games from the SteamOS based steam machine to it.

      So with that I’d assume we’re finally getting some much needed progress to SteamVR on linux.

        Yeah, this is what I’m most looking forward to in the immediate sense tbh. It’ll be nice to play HLA without crashing every time it loads a new level as it currrently does for me in SteamVR (Monado doesn’t have this issue, but I can’t use my left-handed controls without Steam input :-|)

      The headset itself is running linux and it is meant to be used with the steam machine, which also runs on linux.

      pretty sure it’s SteamOS, an Arch Linux derivative, on a fairly popular Snapdragon platform. probably not too difficult to hack on it.

        It days right in the marketing text that the headset is “a PC” which to me implies full SteamOS distro with no limitations on installing a different OS, if you can get the many hardware drivers to work.

        It says that it can run Windows applications so it might be the first VR headset that you can actually develop a game on.
