Lepton disables various Android services that are not required to run games possibly breaking compatibility with some applications.

Lepton is intended to help game developers bring their VR Android games to the Steam Frame. Other usecases are possible, but were not the focus of development and may lack polish.

Since its intented for the Steam Frame which also runs on ARM does Lepton even make Android games work on X86?

    It would be really nice if at some point PS5s could get a second life as cheap Steam Machines or even desktop PCs. I surely wouldn't buy one now, but in a few years as a cheap second hand purchase it would be nice to have Linux running on them properly. So it is quite sad to see someone skilled with making that happen leave like this.

    This looks good, has anyone here used it yet?

    I have the discontinued free Sega games on my phone and would like to see about transferring the files to my PC and playing them. I don't play any games on my mobile.

    The highest-paid teachers in the world are in Luxembourg. They only make about 160% what teachers in the US do, who are the teachers I'm most familiar with. (Side note, I'm gobsmacked that the US is in the top 10 for teacher salaries. That's bonkers to me.)

    Is teacher pay a perfect analogue for ability to make technology demands at time of hire? No. But both are affected primarily by societal valuation of the profession, and it looks like that is sadly pretty consistent worldwide.
