I was going to buy a #SteamMachine and #ValveIndex for my birthday. But stupid #AI isn't content with destroying the earth and stealing jobs from my kids, it also has to drive component prices up so far they aren't releasing by then anyway.
Is there any upside to the trillions we are spending on 70%-accurate auto-complete?
The new release of Gaia Sky is almost ready. Today is testing day, so it's time to dust off the Valve Index and see how much VR on Linux has improved since the last time I tried (it was underwhelming). With the Steam Frame on the horizon, I'm kind of excited, ngl.
Things I didn’t like about the Valve Index:
1. the cables and the corresponding setup when I want to play since I can’t just leave it setup when I’m not playing
2. the sound the lighthouse sensors make when they are running. I can hear them even when playing and I think the sound is giving me a headache
Decided to sell my Valve Index Kit before the Steam Frame gets released since I’m not using it as much as I thought I would have. I bought it in March 2021 and have only 165h in Steam VR. Maybe I will get the Steam Frame, maybe not we will see. It depends on the price and how good the compatibility with Linux is.
Hot on the heels of the Steam Frame announcement, SteamVR Beta 2.14.1 brings more fixes https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/11/hot-on-the-heels-of-the-steam-frame-announcement-steamvr-beta-2-14-1-brings-more-fixes/
@raccoon given that #Valve refused to elaborate beyond "same price as #ValveIndex" they could do anything from $499 - $999 depending on whether they just mean the headset or the compete package to be able to use it.
Because based off #3kliksphilip they can be good.
