It isn’t super smooth to configure yet, but it should be possible to use HDR. Have you tried that?

If you do decide to get the Steam Machine, you can stream from there to get a lot more out of the Steam Frame than what it can do standalone.

Considering Beat Saber already works on Linux just fine, and it isn’t particularly demanding/runs fine on less powerful standalone headsets, I imagine it’ll work.

This is one of the changes I’m most frustrated with, and one I didn’t expect. Maybe it feels worse for me because I didn’t expect it, unlike some of the other compromises.

I’ll still buy one, but I don’t like this change.

EDIT: The other big disappointment that I knew was possible but didn’t expect was the loss of Lighthouse tracking.

Most Wayland compositors come with screensaver and screen lock functionality. Some have an API for custom screensavers.
