    Valve phone? I don’t really want an arm steam deck. It’s important to me I be able to run stuff outside of games on my deck. It’s not just a handheld, it’s a full fledged pc in a handheld body.

    But if they want to make a valve phone with a Linux based os…

      You do realise that the same runtime that makes x86 games work on ARM, will also work for… drumroll please… regular software too?

        Uh no.

        Not the kinds of things I need to be able to do. There simply isn’t the support. Taken a ridiculous amount of time to get even basic support to do the kinds of things I need to be able to do on AMD hardware.

      The whole point of FEX is running x86 applications on ARM. Much like WINE, it won’t be limited to games.

      Valve phone? Nah. I’ll be surprised if you’re not able to run x86 Windows games using the Steam Android app though. You already can with GameNative and GameHub anyway.
