The ad for the Steam Frame specifically says it's compatible with the whole Steam family, Deck, Controller, and Machine. I expect Steam Deck will only be a virtual screen, as well as it's standalone capabilities. If that's all it can do with the deck, that's enough for me. If it can do VR as well, even better. Either way, the frame also runs on SteamOS, so that will be Linux, and if they can't support streaming VR from the Machine they will be crucified.
I suppose the thing I'm worried about is more general Linux SteamVR support than the streaming itself... But duh, the headset can run games on Linux standalone, so they've gotta have SteamVR working well. The only question is, am I behind on the news, or have they been holding back the updates internally?
I hope it was just them working out the hardware required to meet their goals, and the software required to make it work. Fingers crossed. I don't plan on buying one on release, at least not before I've seen a number of reviews.
