Steam Deck made Windows optional. Steam Frame takes aim at x86. Valve is building a future where your Steam library barely cares what kind of computer sits underneath it. Is that good for gamers?
We need more RISC V systems in the wild with gaming capability but for now ARM is a step in the right direction. It still is proprietary architecture though.
I’ve been running Steam on ARM with an old phone I converted to gaming handheld for my kid. It runs about half the games we want it to which is better than I expected but not good enough. Support grows so rapidly that I have seen massivd performance and support gains there month over month.
