Is it possible to bring game .apk from my phone to the pc?
SatyrSack@quokk.au 3 weeks ago Most likely not just any arbitrary APK

Lepton is intended to help game developers bring their VR Android games to the Steam Frame. Other usecases are possible, but were not the focus of development and may lack polish.
From what I understand, if you try to launch a flat application, it attempts to launch it in VR mode which is screwy. It best, not a useable experience.
But maybe some day. This certainly lays the groundwork to allow that functionality eventually.

That’s the idea, yes.

Very based
This could be massive for Linux phones, if I understand it correctly

We already have Waydroid for “natively” launching Android apps on Linux phones, and it sounds like maybe this is based on that? Or at least it mentions getting something from that, but maybe it’s just techniques and no code?
Either way, more openness is better, and I can’t imagine it’ll make things worse!

My hope is that it will be to waydroid as proton is to wine
