Recently I covered the draft code to add a full VR mode into the KDE Plasma desktop, and it has only continued to get more advanced with recent updates.
I would be incredibly surprised if the Frame is not running SteamOS, which includes KDE Plasma and so any merged PRs will be included in a system image update.
Or, alternatively, as with essentially everything that’s released which has 2 or more MOSFETS soldered together, someone will get Linux running on it within a few hours.
It’s just applying Wayland surfaces onto a simple 2D plane in an otherwise empty scene. Wayland is optimized and creating a 2D plane in 3D space is about the most basic task that you can do in a 3D environment. I wouldn’t worry about that too much.
You can already do a lot of this on Windows using Vitual Desktop. If you want to get a feel for what it would be like. Virtual Desktop is the most 1:1 comparison, you can create floating ‘displays’ that show your desktop or you can make them show individual apps. Rendering on a 3080 going to an Index, the framerate never droped below the 144fps limit.

What I wouldn’t be sure is how pleasant is to use the desktop.
I’m sure you can open it, but might be unoptimized.
