TL;DR

Linus and the crew kick off by diving into Valve’s fresh hardware lineup—think revamped Steam Controller, the Steam Machine, and the new Steam Frame with foveated streaming and hand tracking—before debating rechargeable vs. disposable batteries and Luke’s experience with the Bigscreen Beyond 2. They also share behind-the-scenes of Linus meeting Linux Torvalds (including his speedy email replies and some epic yacht gossip from Gaben) and field fan questions about everything from sibling rivalry to favorite Taylor Swift songs.

Later, the conversation shifts to big industry news: Windows “evolving to an agentic OS,” Ubisoft’s surprise earnings-report delay, Google’s partial sideloading U-turn, Jack Dorsey’s Vine reboot, and an AI “artist” topping the country charts. Throw in Sony’s Japan-only budget PS5 and a 27″ 240 Hz monitor, Chinese buses being remote-shutoffable, Nest devices revived by fans, RAM shortages fueled by AI hype, a stumbling Russian robot, plus a huge Q&A blitz (digital hygiene, VR modes, NHL playoffs and more) — all sprinkled with sponsor deals and merch drops.
