My understanding was the Frame uses Lepton or Fex. Lepton for android arm games, FEX for intel x86_64 PC games. I'm not aware of many (any?) android+intel exclusives that would use both. Happy to be corrected if wrong though! Won't find out any time soon after being waitlisted though!
One of the Steam Frame articles said that they were using Lepton and Fex together, something like Android app >Lepton> x86 Android app >Fex> Steam Frame.
It would make a lot of sense to not convert android apps from arm to x86 and then back to arm, but I'm not 100% on those details yet.
I edited the post description to make it clear that I'm unsure on this.
