The community name has been changed, but the c/steamdeck part cannot be changed without creating a new community.

In the previous discussion on whether to include Steam Machine/Steam Frame/Steam OS, the majority of the responses wanted to include the new hardware, at least for the time being.

Part of this decision is that, right now, the fediverse isn't really large enough to support multiple hardware-specific Steam OS communities. However, if the community grows or it becomes apparent that the communities need to be separated, we can do that at a later time.

As always, feedback is encouraged and welcome.

I'm so hyped for the frame.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It may just be my first foray into VR. Stoked. :D

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Same! I'm planning to get one as close to launch as I can. I've been waiting on VR and this 100% seems like what I've been looking for. Super excited.

Same! I don't have enough room or money to justify an Index, and I didn't want to get anything oculus/meta. Enter Steam Frame 😎

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I had an original oculus dev kit and thought it was cool back then. Frame is gonna be an instant buy for me and I’m beyond excited.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I was so excited for Oculus right up until it was bought by Facebook. I didn't have the funds right away and had been waiting, but I immediately wrote it off the day that news broke.

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Same here. I won’t consider any of them and I was going to get an index, but it’s getting pretty old.

[–] PrinzKasper@feddit.org 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Based on previews it really looks like they solved wireless PC VR. I still have an ancient original HTC Vive that I use veeeeryyy rarely. I've been tempted to jump on the Big Screen Beyond 2, but I'm gonna wait to see how reviews for the Frame shake out

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

I have a vive and an index, and even just the difference between those two is monumental

[–] Lydia_K@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The BSB2 is great for what it is, ultimate lightweight and screen quality.

[–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

me too, i have a meta 2 rn and its a pain in my ass every time i wanna play a steam game or install and app that isnt in the app store. i believe the frame will fix this

[–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

I guarantee it will.

[–] Lfrith@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Me too. I prefer to be without VR than picking up a meta headset. So it's nice to finally be seeing a quality non meta option.

[–] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Linux VR headset this sound gorgeous

[–] Lydia_K@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I get to wear a linux box on my face, that can steam directly from my big linux box, oh also it'll do VR and games. Shut up and take my money.

[–] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, first time I got hyped for the release of something. I didn't expect the steam deck and that an amazing device. I got both version. I hope the frame will be thing kind of surprize
