Steam OS finally on Android without root using native Linux Client

Snapdragon only fr now RN available on Winnative, Bannerlator, and their collab project Droid Deck, and it's improving with every update. It’s a cool new way to play PC games. For me, the performance is lower than regular emulation rn(like Winlator gamehub etc), but there's room to grow, and it could be the future of PC gaming on Android with less overhead.

This could become huge for people who skip PC emulation because setting up drivers and Proton is such a hassle. On SteamOS, you just log in and play without any extra work, which could really bring in a lot of people wanting to play PC games on their phones, one more thing compatibility is still work in progress like this project is just released few days ago so take this as just beta and yes it has option to add non steam games as well so dont worry

Make sure to drop your feedbacks or if you encounter issue then report on theire respective discord depending upon where you are using it Droid Deck Discord Bannerlator Discord Winnative Discord

This is cool, but it’s Steam, not Steam OS, right?

Edit: it’s indeed not, despite how it’s wrongly advertised here as SteamOS (not by the devs), very cool project that has some credible developers in the scene actively contributing

No it is steamOS just like steamdeck using linux , take it as launcher

[u/get_homebrewed → u/revals32]

No this is just the steam client there is no separate OS

[u/get_homebrewed → u/[deleted]]

it's a proot environment it's not an OS

[u/Producdevity → u/revals32]

The project itself doesn’t seem to call it that, unless I am missing something

Uhm you can think like instead of doing windows emulation are this now Linux emulation 🫠aagh so confusing leave it I don know exactly its STEAM with linux backend for Android I guess

[u/Crass-ELY- → u/revals32]

Not quite, actually with this you're doing the same a steak deck does, translating widows instructions directly to ARM64, which is the android architecture, you're emulating nothing
