That's wrong. You can't stream from the SteamOS game mode specifically, but streaming from a Linux desktop works.

Not the person you asked, but I do have the new controller, and it works as they described it.

How it works afaik is that SDL has a driver for it, even if the kernel doesn't have a generic one yet. The controller also works in emulators without Steam running because of that.

The headset has eye tracking to make it possible, but yes, apps have to implement foveated rendering for it to work.

I think it is possible for the VR compositor to do some eye tracking optimizations for the app without the app doing special stuff, but I don't know how much that helps (or if it's even implemented in SteamVR).

They did fix that a while ago though?

This myth that ARM is more efficient needs to die already. The ISA has almost no impact on efficiency, and *especially* no impact on gaming, where the GPU is the much more important thing.

Yes, there's an addon for Firefox that gives you Netflix 1080p without any downsides, probably just by changing the user agent for Netflix.

Really shows how utterly useless the restrictions are.

I wouldn't read that much into it. Valve isn't Nintendo, I doubt they'd launch a new Deck without OLED
