TL;DR: Valve launched the Steam Frame VR headset with an Arm-based Snapdragon chip, aiming to run Half-Life: Alyx natively and streamed from PC. The new hardware features a "Frame Verified" status for optimized games, while rumors suggest two upcoming Half-Life titles supporting PC and VR cooperative play.

Would hope so. Maybe that means linux phones will be able to run steam.

What I wouldn't give for a Valve Phone now that you mention it.

Valve engineers fed up with software, singlehandedly make arch-based handheld, arch-based gaming console, arch-based VR headset, arch-based smartphone, arch-based EV.

How to print infinite money

Just had a funny thought of a tech bro with the Arch based EV, deciding to install Manjaro instead, and breaking their EV after a bad update.

You can already run Steam games on Android, using the same protocol as Valve (FEx) with an app called GameNative.

Not Android, phones based on a desktop Linuc distro (e.g. PostmarketOS, Ubuntu Touch)

GameNative works on Android. Not sure what it uses behind the scenes to run windows software, tho.

Edit: I might've misinterpreted what you wrote, oops. Nonetheless, I'll keep this as it's still afaik correct info.
