From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I love it, but I'm personally more interested in FEX. I just prefer playing actually good games on my phone than playing bad games on my pc :P

If this helps Port standalone oculus Quest titles to steam ecosystem, that would be pretty neat.

I'm interested in continuing my game of dead cells that lives on my Android handheld, from my desktop with a controller in the evenings I'm home.

Also, i have preferred the emulator experience when on android devices versus fine-tuning them and playing them one on full-fat PCs.

I could absolutely see continuing gaming old console titles from my living room machine running those mobile platforms with their own front ends

Outside of three Android native titles which are pretty much locked down by Google Play services, and console gaming with emulation, I honestly kind of struggle to find a home for lepton in any of my regular configurations.

The readme says this tool is to help developers power their titles to Steam.
