    Steam Frame is a mini PC that runs SteamOS which is based on Arch (btw). You can run some light games directly on the headset itself.

    If you mean streaming from a Linux PC to the headset then I have almost no issues with it. There's a few stuttering issues likely caused by my poor WiFi since placing the dongle within arm's reach will make everything butter smooth. I run Fedora so kernel is almost bleeding edge. That might have something to so with it.

    When streaming from a Linux PC, does it have full desktop mode? Would it be useable for something like programming?

    Assuming you mean streaming from Linux, I had issues with it running Steam as a Flatpak (controllers not behaving correctly, streaming not even starting, dongle not pairing, etc).

    Now I switched to a standard, non-sandboxed Steam install and everything seems to work fine. You can tell there's a bit of jank under the hood -- like they made it work despite Linux rather than thanks to it -- but it does work nicely overall.
