Quick reminder on the likely reason why Valve's New Steam Machine only supports #HDMI 2.0:
""At this time an open source HDMI 2.1 implementation is not possible without running afoul of the HDMI Forum requirements.""
This is what Alex Deucher, the maintainer of the amdgpu #kernel driver, said one and a half years ago here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1417#note_2303163
And from the ticket it looks like the problem remains.
See also Alex's earlier comment from early 2021 in the ticket:

""HDMI 2.1 is not available on #Linux due to the HDMI Forum.""

Holy Shit, #Valve did a product launch in 2025 and did not mention AI a single fucking time. So refreshing.

I'd love to chat with someone (on or off camera) who's been following the #VR space for the last couple years about the Steam Frame. Specifically the implications it might have for Linux VR support going forward. (Not to mention what it could do for wider adoption of ARM and compatibility for that architecture...)
If you're interested please DM me.
It’s been a while since I’ve purchased a new gaming console, and I was thinking about going with PS5 when I do, but now, I think I’m going with Steam Machine by Valve. 2026 will be the year of Linux on the gaming console!
Valve's upcoming Steam Frame is a VR headset that brings a major update to SteamOS. Originally a Linux-based OS for AMD-powered handheld & desktop PCs, it now runs on an ARM-based VR device that supports Linux, Windows, and Android games + streaming. https://www.uploadvr.com/valve-steam-frame-official-announcement-features-details/ #SteamFrame #Valve #VR #SteamOS
