As of today on Linux SteamVR:

• desktop preview does not work on Wayland DEs

• dropped frames cause reprojection errors causing visual stutters

• dropped frames cause "vsync_to_photon" timing errors thus causing input lag/drunken vision

• exiting any VR game crashes SteamVR Dashboard and sometimes desktop Steam UI too

• SteamVR sometimes launches legacy UI with missing features

• SteamVR frequently fails to launch

• SteamVR does a partial "silent launch" - no desktop confirmation of VR running, but you see image inside of a headset

• SteamVR can't automatically switch audio device to headset speakers, nor supports audio mirroring

Issues which don't apply to Steam Frame but are still technically issues on legacy "Linux supported" headsets:

• Base Station power management does not work (Vive 1.0/Index 2.0)

• Room preview/cameras do not work

• Volume buttons do not work (HTC Vive Pro)

And probably many more issues I'm missing

Got an email too :/

I've found Polaris, for a headless Steam Big Picture session

I don't have a source for this on hand, but OpenGL calls will be translated to Vulkan with Zink

Steam supports local network transfers, they added this feature a few months after the Steam Deck was announced.

This comment surely aged nicely /s

It's possible this could be for their upcoming VR headset, which had some standalone features
