DroidDeck brings the SteamOS experience to Android. I haven't tested the OS features (like installing other apps), but playing games works as expected. Dogwalk (Godot game) is a bit slow, but Tomb Raider is playable. github.com/Droid-Deck/D... youtu.be/xfNL2enXUdc

Which OS do you have on your phone? If you are running Linux on your phone, it really isn't any different. If you want to install Linux on your phone, or perhaps degoogled Android, that is only possible on a limited set of phones.

Some people recommend Linux Mint, because it feels a bit like the old Windows. I have used Ubuntu a lot. It's backed by a multi-million company, and there are plenty of websites and forums dedicated to Ubuntu. I usually recommend to test a live image with a USB stick, or try in a virtual machine.

It's very often that vibe coded code is not the most efficient, and they say it takes a lot of review time. I'm also guessing that when they have questions, not everyone can answer the questions, and the PR gets rejected, wasting a lot of time.

BredOS has transitioned to Beryllium. It's an Arch based distro for ARM, RISC-V and even x86. Rockchip RK3588 boards need EDK2. I did a small test on a Raspberry Pi 4. beryllium.gr youtu.be/N_Lio7ytIOI

The Steam Frame runs ARM, but booting ARM systems is different from x86. But we'll see what happens in the future. Valve is also adding support for Nvidia and Intel GFX-cards, so it might be possible that ARM support will also be expanded in the future. videocardz.com/newz/steamos...
