Valve has been a big proponent of Linux gaming, and now the company is investing in Android support on Linux. It’s already possible to run Android in a Linux container through Waydroid, but Valve has developed a new fork – and it has officially named it Lepton.

Last month, news broke that Valve would soon support Android games on Steam. This was thanks to a sighting in Steam app changelogs for Walkabout Mini Golf, which added an APK file. The VR title is currently available on the Meta Quest (which runs on a custom version of Android), and may run through the Lepton compatibility layer for Valve’s upcoming Steam Frame VR headset, which runs the company’s Linux-based operating system, SteamOS.

          DAWs

          I am told by most sound engineers i know that Logic Pro is the bee knees. i don’t have any experience in the field myself but it’s certainly not the only Mac only software. Linux being the only true cross platform compatible OS though would be a HUGE selling point for it

      Some mobile/tablet games are still iOS exclusive but absolutely excellent games, this could make it possible to sideload those

        That makes sense. I would like to see valve bring everything gaming related over to Linux,regardless of the platform originally developed for.
