My partner and I both signed up for a Steam Machine, and I for a Steam Frame. We got waitlisted for all 3, and in the last 24 hours we got into the queue for all of them. Time to decide which machine (2TB vs 512) to get, and if we actually want a Frame!

Just FYI the Frame and Machine don’t work together very well yet

This is the most concerning thing for me. I only use linux, so I have to imagine that if it isn't working with my steam machine yet, it absolutely is not going to work with my desktop yet. I would much rather that be sorted out before I put out this much money.

Current status is that it works in desktop mode. Normal Linux needs at least Kernel 7.2 and there's a script you can run to help with troubleshooting.
