Valve reportedly cooking native Linux version of Half-Life: Alyx, optimized for Steam Frame VR - No Last Name Needed

>TL;DR: Valve launched the Steam Frame VR headset with an Arm-based Snapdragon chip, aiming to run Half-Life: Alyx natively and streamed from PC. The new hardware features a “Frame Verified” status for optimized games, while rumors suggest two upcoming Half-Life titles supporting PC and VR cooperative play.

Does this mean steam is soon to distribute ARM Linux native builds?

Would hope so. Maybe that means linux phones will be able to run steam.

You can already run Steam games on Android, using the same protocol as Valve (FEx) with an app called GameNative.

Not Android, phones based on a desktop Linuc distro (e.g. PostmarketOS, Ubuntu Touch)

GameNative works on Android. Not sure what it uses behind the scenes to run windows software, tho.
