Valve and Collabora Announce Official Arch Linux ARM64 Port for Steam Frame

Steam Frame uses an ARM64 processor, so Collabora, in collaboration with Valve, has been developing Holo Core as a full AArch64 port of Arch Linux intended as the base for the operating system that will power the gaming VR headset. Since Arch Linux has no official ARM64 support, Collabora had to build new tooling and CI infrastructure from scratch.

Family Updates and Site Updates

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 19, 2026

Updates about curators and co.

The small birds have grown up since the eggs hatched earlier this summer. Their parents come in tandem, as the offspring needn't be supervised at all times. The shells continues to reproduce (there must be about 100 of them in the tank by now) and since they're regularly fed they needn't worry about inflation, droughts, and predators.

We're less than a fortnight away from August, which will have many anniversaries. My new nephew now has a name (as of last week) and today we experimented with a new site feature for reference pages, which we are still testing internally.

More details to come out next month... █

Update: FIFA World Cup Final still goalless and reportedly very boring.
