Specifically, SteamOS for the Steam Frame. I have so many questions. The Frame runs “SteamOS”. Only SteamOS is based on Arch/x86, and the Frame runs ARM/Qualcomm, so surely this is a sort of “SteamOS for ARM”? I understand FEX (ish), are they just running the entire OS through FEX? Arch doesn’t seem to have an ARM version I can find so did Valve do the work of porting Arch to ARM? And if so, where is the source code?


It seems like Valve and Collabora are working together to port Arch to ARM. They call it Holo Core which might be why the source code didn’t show up but I think this is it probably?
I dont get it, I’ve been using Arch Arm for years on serveral Raspberry Pis. The hardware has to be supported but it works, and it’s mantained

iirc the difference is that one is trying to port arch linux to arm and the other is trying to have arch linux run on arm without manual modification
Thank you for answering my question so succinctly haha
