Steam Frame uses Lepton, which is a fork of Waydroid (similar to how Proton is a fork of WINE).
Yeah that's amazing thats another translation layer thats vital for Linux phones.
Thats what im getting excited about. If someone makes use of all this progress we could have decent capable smart phones that at the very least have all the attractive software and apps which is the hardest part.
Sure getting the actual phone elements to work is still hard but we have a few options already and the main issue with those, is that no ones going to adopt it because they can't use messenger or play candy crush anymore. They're just boring phones again, and unless you find it fun writting code or playing in the terminal, it gets boring fast. Being able to play skyrim on your phone makes it sound like a fair trade off in some regards. People might be more willing to change their other habits and apps they used if there was at least one solid source of dopamine. I don't know if you guys noticed but every app is basicially made to hijack your reward center, and switching to a privacy phone is like quiting smoking cold turkey.
Just to use YouTube like a normal person on newpipe I have to change my IP every couple of hours when YouTube bans me. So much of privacy focused experience is becoming that as these big companies push out anyone who isnt signed into a I'D verified account, and stuff like that is painful to do for the average person. I'm filled with spite so I will do everything in my power to make it harder to collect my data, but most people aren't like that. There's gotta be SOMETHING that gives privacy phones some hype, or momentum.
And people joke Valve does nothing and wins. How on earth are they doing nothing? :D BTW I'm using FreeTube and its annoying how often I have to change IP too (thank god VPNs). And the buffering issues and so on on top of it, I have to copy the link to separate video player an watch it there... YouTube got unbearable!
