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.

    I’m honestly astonished they haven’t jumped on that train earlier.

    I agree but there are reasons why they may not have done this. Namely that (in the past) if they start selling Android games, they would have to delist it from the Google Play Store, because that was not allowed. But that has changed recently (thanks Timmy).
