I hope valve got a good deal on these useless, weakass AMD GPUs, otherwise what are they even doing?

Good video with some interesting details related to Steam, Linux & Steam Machine.

Gist of it is, Valve have made a 64-bit container for Steam on Linux, so that Linux distros like Fedora can phase out 32-bit distro support (they previously couldn't because Steam on Linux was still 32-bit). Also talks about various updates made for Steam OS on 3P handheld devices (i.e Lenovo Legion Go, Xbox ROG Ally/X) such as TDP settings etc. to provide full hardware support on them, with more improvements to come.

Also Steam Machine is now officially supported in Steam OS 3.8, signaling it'll most likely definitely be coming later in the year.

Valve Prepares for Steam Frame Launch with Android Upload Options in Steamworks

Valve has long been preparing its software stack for the arrival of both the Steam Machine and the upcoming Steam Frame, and the latest update sees the gaming giant add a long list of fixes, QoL improvements, and features to SteamVR as well as changes to the developer back-end in order to prepare for the Steam Frame. As pointed out by u/FantasySynthDev on r/Steam on Reddit, Valve's developer back-end now includes the option to select Android as a supported operating system—a change that delivers on Valve's promise to increase Android support for the Frame at GDC.

The new toggle seems to be there to indicate to users that there is an Android version of the game available, but the Redditor notes that checking the box and uploading an Android build does not yet make an Android version available for download in Steam, further suggesting that this is more preparation for the Steam Frame. Steam has also added documentation for the Android APK upload and VR testing workflows in the Steamworks documentation. While the Steam Frame and Steam Machine may not launch as early as many gamers had hoped, these changes to the back-end and documentation suggest that the new hardware may not launch as long after the "first half of 2026" plans as many feared when Valve declined to announce pricing earlier this year.
