The progress that the steam frame will bring is more important than the steam frame itself.

The work they put into aarch64 will be really helpful for laptops, and potentially mobile devices. I am really hoping that for mobile phones, becauase the community that came from the steam decks popularity really made more community gaming focused fixes, and programs show up on github. There was life and hope that kind of encourages more people to give a shit or contribute to a community because they believe there is a community.

Fex is going to be the most important. Right now fex can be utilized to play red dead 2 at 720p 60fps on a midrange pocco phone. And that was from months ago when I last checked on progress. Even if we aren't directly using arch on arm phones, fex itself can be used on Android which is still helpful.
