The more I read on it, the more I learn that it's heavily focused towards streaming. I'll be curious to see just how performant the all-in-one aspect is. It doesn't seem to be an afterthought, but definitely not highest priority. Being that it's an ARM processor, I wonder if there's a possibility of apk emulation. That would open it up to basically being a universal headset.
Some quick googling put me on to Waydroid so it's doable under linux, just a matter of compatiblity with HorizonOS and whatever pico and the others are running.

edit: yeah, it looks like that's exactly what's happening.
The Steam Frame is the start — but it could be tip of the iceberg.
