Here's something that could be exciting but also could be a whole lot of nothing. So keep expectations firmly in check, but work submitted for Linux kernel 6.6 show something interesting from Valve. Potentially a Steam Deck refresh or their new VR headset perhaps?

    Someone in the comments of that article made a note about having a "Steam Brick" that would be a steam deck like console.

    I've been investing a lot of time into ChimeraOS and Bazzite for universal Blue lately. I highly recommend building a small form factor PC in something like a fractal ridge with an old 5700XT (or the cheapest AMD RDNA GPU you can find really) and give it a go!

    We can all steambox again if we just believe!

    Oh please be a stand-alone VR headset. I'm so sick of Meta's awful software!

    I have modded Beat Saber and you'd think it would be easy to keep your maps/replays synchronized with your computer. Nope! It's a huge, manual pain in the ass.

    If it was running SteamOS I could just create a cron job or systemd timer and have it auto-sync whenever I turned it on. It would be trivial!

      Have you seen BeepSaber?

      A basic implementation of the Beat Saber VR game mechanic in the Godot Game Engine for Oculus Quest (and other VR headsets) This game uses godot 3.2. The implementation supports to load and play maps from BeatSaver.

      A little hokey but I bet it doesn’t break every other week when Meta updates it. Not sure on addons tho.
