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?
Steam Machine seems obsolete as an idea since the SD’s release.
I don’t think so, with a “real” steam machine you’d not expect to have the same limitations you have with the deck. Something like the rumored Sarlak would be a great chip for it.
