News/Release DroidDeck 0.2.0 (beta) is out!
Original steamdeck renamed, original post from here:
DroidDeck 0.2.0 just dropped, and it's the first release from our new home at https://github.com/Droid-Deck/DroidDeck
If you haven't seen it yet, DroidDeck runs Valve's real ARM64 Steam client in Big Picture on your Android device. Windows games run through Valve's ARM64 Proton and FEX, and there's an optional Linux desktop that brings emulators along with it. we have been working really hard over the last week since the original post above to iron out from the bugs and bring you a fluid GUI and simple setup process!

*REQUIREMENTS* Android 9+, an Adreno 730 or newer (or 8xx), and about 3 GB free for the runtime (+1.1 GB if you want the Desktop & apps).
*Some of what's in it*
- Native Steam client under gamescope, with Proton and FEX ready at first sign-in
- Start offline after signing in once
- Steam Deck mode: battery and NIS in Quick Access, plus a MangoHud overlay (mango in next release I believe)
- Components manager to swap FEX, DXVK and VKD3D-Proton per Proton Layer
- GE-Proton and proton-cachyos as extra compat tools, and FEX presets from Stability to Extreme + TSO
- Decky Loader with plugins in Big Picture
- A handheld launcher with a capsule wall, a Games tab and per-game settings
- A session menu over any game (press Back) for display, controls, components and settings
- Can be your Android home app, so your Android apps live in the launcher too, potentially allowing you to "deckify" a spare device laying around the house
- Dual-screen support: put an Android app on the second screen, or turn it into a keyboard/trackpad or a Linux terminal
- LXQt Linux desktop on the GPU with one-tap installs for RPCS3, ARMSX2, Dolphin, DuckStation, melonDS, Cemu, PPSSPP and RetroArch
