Nope. Anything ARM. Meaning tablets can run x86 games with Proton+FEX if that be the case. Also getting the MacOS segment back into the fold. ARM laptops, hell, maybe even Apple portable devices, who knows.
It’s not just about their own hardware, but my thinking is that the Deck 2 will be ARM for power consumption reasons, so this all makes a lot of sense. The Frame isn’t really just a VR devices, it’s also going to be SteamOS, so that means a virtual desktop and all the usual Linux apps and such. I’m sure it will sell on its own as a productivity device as much as a gaming device. No reason it can’t fill the market gap that awful Apple headset screwed up so poorly.

A smaller more portable SteamDeck would be amazing.bSomething with all day battery life that can play Balatro would be… very bad for me, but really fun.
I assume the interest in ARM is specifically for the new Steam VR console?
That would make sense. I’ve ignored the entirety of VR for decades, but a Valve VR console running Linux has me considering buying one.
A genuinely large “Meta can go fuck themselves” segment of the potential future VR market might be opening up, soon.
