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.

Biggest two issues with Waydroid are x86 to ARM translation and correct GPU passthrough:

In theory, you should be able to just play Fortnite on linux this way, but I haven't been able to get it to launch like this guy did.

People have also been calling Waydroid dead for a while now which I dont know how true it is.

Latest release was 2 weeks ago. Not sure how "dead" that is.
