Huh, is this something that's actively been developed? Is there a MR?

    I understand the Steam Frame is using it

    Source? I found the MR, https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/8671, and nothing about that shows it's for the Steam Frame. In fact, the video shows a colored passthrough camera mode while the Steam Frame (sadly) has a black and white camera only.

    Valve has announced the use of the KDE desktop on the frame, and then KDE shows this off. Couldn't give you more than that, but it seems pretty straightforward doesn't it?

    You say that but so far nothing points to it being developed for that device. It seems to mostly be a personal project by the developer, especially because this is the first time a bunch of KDE developers seem to see the code. The author of the MR even updated the MR to mention they do not work for Valve. That doesn't mean it isn't useful for that device of course, it very much makes sense to run on there. But again, the black and white cameras of that device makes this mode less interesting.
