Lepton appears to be the new official name for Valve's version of Waydroid (Android in a Linux container).

We still don't have a whole lot of details about how this is all going to work, outside of Lepton enabling Android APKs for developers on the upcoming Steam Frame VR kit, but it's now that little bit more official with a proper name and even a logo.

Wait, so it's possible to run Android apps in a lightweight container similar to docker on Linux?

Yes, but don't think you're going to be automatically playing games with a keyboard and mouse if they don't already support that 🤣

Sure, unless you have a device capable of running linux that has a touch screen and integrated controller. Like, i don't know, some kind of deck for running steam?
