This is the best summary I could come up with:
So keep expectations firmly in check, but work submitted for Linux kernel 6.6 show something interesting from Valve.
Potentially a Steam Deck refresh or their new VR headset perhaps?
The note comes from Phoronix, who as usual goes over basically every little thing Linux kernel related.
They found work being pulled in for Linux kernel 6.6 sound updates, that includes additions for AMD Van Gogh, the chip used in the Steam Deck.
Considering the current SoC in the Steam Deck is named Aerith, a refresh of Sephiroth would continue their fun Final Fantasy inspired naming.
They could point to a lot of things: a Steam Deck refresh, the new VR headset we know they're working on, some developer boards they use in-house or anything really.
