You know, I would 100% buy a phone from them if it runs Linux
With the amount of work they are putting in compatibility layers technology, I wouldn’t be surprised if you could run The Witcher 3 on it out of the box.
people are saying that the witcher 3 works really well with the winulator app (uses wine and box86, which i’ve heard usually performs a tiny bit better than FEX, what valve is using, at the cost of occasional innacuracies)
not disagreeing, but if you just want to run the witcher 3 on your phone you can do it right now
Unless it runs Linux, what’s the fucking point?
Steam Deck: Already runs Linux.
GabeCube: Confirmed it will run Linux.
Steam Frame: Confirmed it will run Linux.
Obviously Valve has made no overtures whatsoever towards making a phone. But if they did, what on Earth would lead you to believe that it wouldn’t run Linux?
There being zero ecosystem for Linux phones, unlike the desktop.
You’d need an Android runtime layer.
Having a Linux phone that has chroot compartments for Android apps is the dream.
Steam Xperia Linux phone would be a dream. I think if a Steam phone did well then other companies like Asus would jump into Linux phone.
Then suddenly we get mainstream alternatives to Android.
