SteamOS 1 and 2 ran on Debian which caused it's own problems as it meant software updates were a lot slower. It was slow and clunky and was just a glorified Big Picture Mode (which at the time was also slow and clunky) with a barebones desktop mode. The original version of SteamOS was awful.They were made by PC OEMs using over the counter parts and sold for profit which meant they costed as much as gaming laptops for worse performance. There's many reasons the Steam Machines failed Hell I'd probably even sell my PC for the console box too as I've been using my main PC less and less and using my Steam Deck instead because of how much of a better device it is. But a wireless VR headset from Valve I would buy in a heartbeat.
Vr pc headset pro#
If this is coming soon, I might just say screw the Apple Vision Pro and get that headset instead because I AM SICK OF ZUCKERBURG! I've had nothing but issues connecting my Quest 2 to my PC due to Meta's horrible software, but I never could get an Index due to my place being too small to support the base stations. It is unknown if the Steam Machine will bring back the Steam Controller for a generation 2 but Valve has mentioned recently they wish to introduce a successor to the Steam Controller, addressing the problems people had with it like the lack of a second thumbstick.
Vr pc headset install#
Just like the Steam Deck the Steam Machine (which is what I will be calling the console box from now on) runs on SteamOS but since it's a fully open PC you can choose to install a different Linux OS or Windows if you desire.

You can buy the console like PC to use on it's own as an easy entry into PC gaming, or if you already got a gaming PC you can buy just the headset.

Valve for a long time has been working on a successor to the aging Valve Index PCVR headset, this new headset being wireless and not requiring base stations like the Index, so you can just pick it up and get into VR immediately, and without a cable getting in the way. What this is we don't know but we have some ideas. When the Deck got certified in South Korea it got announced shortly after. Valve is going to be announcing new hardware soon as they just got radio certification in Korea, just like they did with the Valve Index and Steam Deck.
