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?

Thanks, I may try this out!
Asking the real questions.
we already had that, this is for the opposite use case.
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.
you’re hired!
… 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.
