SteamDeck, emulate everything.*

Proton technically isn't emulation, but it's pretty crazy that the device basically doesn't have anything natively built for it, everything is translated emulated. It took that much effort to break Microsoft's PC gaming monopoly.

Regardless of what the website says, waydroid isn't an emulator by any meaningful definition.

It's a container that runs on top of your regular linux kernel (with some very cool desktop integration features), java/kotlin applications run as natively as they'd run on your phone.

That's interesting. I didn't know that. I tried working with Waydroid once on Bazzite on an older desktop of mine and didn't get terribly far with it.
