I mean you could say the Steam Deck is “just KDE on Arch”.

The difference is how they implement it and what it’s used for. This could be huge for “apps” on the Steam Deck, for example. Or it could be a quirky experiment or feature nobody uses. Time will tell.

Fair, but a valve implementation could mean a good implementation in game mode. That would be nice and be easier for people not willing to touch desktop mode.

If this means I can play my Steam games on my phone… Yay! 🎉

More like the other way round.

You can stream steam games to your phone with steam link thought.

Wait, but Steam doesn’t have Android games, right?

Yeah. Stream your android games from your phone to your steam deck so you can stream them to your phone!

Which is what they’re rumored to be working on. Hence the post.

You can sort of do that with Winlator, but it’s pretty early tech!

Valve throwing some money/developer time at Waydroid would be awesome

As far as I understand that’s exactly what’s been happening behind the scenes.

Yes, that’s what I meant. I hope they do something similar for waydroid.

That’d be great, since it’s basically broken as-is.

Guess they want to make it easy for mobile devs to launch their games on steam. Not sure if there’s a market for it though.

Uhh… for their steam deck I’d think 😂 not that it’d be a primarily mobile gaming device, but no reason not to put your mobile games on it if you like them

This was my first thought. I’ve wanted to be able to play mobile games on my steam deck since I got it.

Maybe a start for their own Android store? And later an iOS store perhaps? (Although that’s an entire different can of worms, regulations and apples)
