Oh ya. I almost forgot.
Very recently I saw a notable Valve employee playing Half-Life Alyx
But their name had both of these icons next to it in Steam. Really weird!

“Valve Fremont” has more evidence of being a new SteamOS hardware device
@FoxletFox in my Discord found more connections of Fremont not only having its own Firmware being worked on (F7F):
But also that Quanta Computer, Valve’s Steam Deck manufacturer, is giving feedback on it

After datamining tonight's HUGE SteamVR Beta:
I can confirm that Valve is definitely rebranding SteamVR "Overlays" to "Frames"
Therefore, if Deckard's product name is The Steam Frame: you should now understand what it's major selling point is going to be...
