- According to its GitLab page, Lepton is intended to help developers bring Android VR games to the Steam Frame headset.
- Steam Frame uses Arm, while most Steam games target x86; Android games are often already optimized for Arm.
- Lepton provides only basic Android support; many apps and services do not work because Google software is missing.
- For now, Waydroid offers broader support for Android apps on PCs because it supports Google services and most apps.
