Quoting: Purple Library GuyIt's going to be really worth while to rate a game's friendliness to SteamOS per se separately from how it plays with the Deck as hardware..

It is remarkable how Tim Sweeney has managed to completely reinvent himself: from an exceptionally skilled software developer in the late 90s to an Infinite Bad Takes Generator today.

It might not be the most powerful thing on the market, but neither is the Steam Deck, and yet this is the one that's getting all the attention, despite not being sold anywhere but on Steam digital store!I have concerns about the Steam Machine hardware that I never had about the Deck hardware. The newer GPU architecture and the low res of the screen of the Deck were chosen to hit a specific performance target. The Steam Machine is going to be plugged into a 4K TV, and the components were picked to hit a specific price. I think the lack of RAM and lack of VRAM are going to hurt it from the off, and definitely in the medium term.
Anti-cheat will still be one of the biggest problems for the new Steam Machine

PS: can we use Steam Link to stream a anti-cheat enabled game from a Windows computer to a Linux one running Steam?Yes.

Have there been any reliable leaks on timing? Are we thinking like a year from now, or maybe even as close as this winter/spring?They've said that they'll announce a release date early next year. Whether the release will also be early or later in the year we won't know till they announce it.

The most interesting bit is that headset running SteamOS on ARM and the steam page claiming that it's able to play games in situ, without streaming.https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/11/codeweavers-launch-a-new-crossover-preview-adding-linux-arm64-support/

d3d7 is a land of highly cursed API inter-operability, and applications that for one reason or another mix and match d3d7 with older ddraw (not ddraw7) and/or with GDI are not expected to ever workdgvoodoo2 (converts old DirectX into newer DirectX) is closed-source, so couldn't be included directly, but the author of that tool has likely worked through those quirks for many games already; it's probably worth having a conversation.
