I guess this would be the appropiate post to ask under, isnt the steam frame using a last gen flagship arm soc and running linux a huge thing? That seems like its pretty close to us being abke to run linux on a newer phone. Tho at the same time i know phones are unhinged so thats why im asking, whether this is actually a big thing.

Gabephone in 2027? /s

Not just this but if the compatibility layer on the snapdragon works on over ARM chips for other Linux distros, we could have desktop Linux on arm (including on new macbooks if you want).

Someone far more knowledgeable is free to correct me but that might have been the single biggest announcement they made

Oh and maybe even install steam OS on a meta quest and use it with Linux but that's a bit of a cake dream
