TL;DR: Valve launched the Steam Frame VR headset with an Arm-based Snapdragon chip, aiming to run Half-Life: Alyx natively and streamed from PC. The new hardware features a “Frame Verified” status for optimized games, while rumors suggest two upcoming Half-Life titles supporting PC and VR cooperative play.

    I haven’t played through Half-Life anyway so I’ll do them all at some point. Would you recommend I play the original HL, or Black Mesa? do they work on Linux?

      both have a linux native version, both are pretty expensive for how old they are lol, but hl original has the advantage of 1600+ free mods, but obviously it doesn’t look as great as black mesa
      i would put both on the wishlist, and if you’re bored you probably could easily get a pirated hl copy
      in both cases, the intro is long, be prepared for that

        I have played some of it but got bored. I love long intros and anything narrative so that was not an issue. I think I was put off by the rigidity of the gameplay itself. But I really do want to play through it. Cheers
