The name Lepton appeared on Steam and SteamDB just a few weeks after Valve unveiled the Steam Frame headset, which will be able to run Android apps.
In our new interview with Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais, he mentioned the Frame uses “a similar compatibility layer as Proton, just targeted at Android.”

So… How can I use this to run Android apps on Linux?
https://waydro.id/ is the basis for Lepton.
Thanks, I may try this out!
we already had that, this is for the opposite use case.
… Run Linux apps on Android?
Why would you want to do that? What advantage?
more specifically, it’s for running x86 linux applications on android. and windows applications, i think.
No, it’s not.
No it’s not. This is for their ARM VR headset. They want 0 effort ports to SteamVR from the Meta Quest which runs Android.
