I've been wondering how long this would take, it's exciting to see some progress!

Pretty cool to see. Small factor devices to play Steam games... through emulation, who would have thought we come so far. Unfortunately this is based on Android and I do not want to use Android, unless it is modified and has nothing to do with Google anymore (such as /e/OS a modified Android).
Edit: Wait a second, this is replacing the Android operating system on the device?

For those not prepared to replace their OS, I've been enjoying this project the last couple weeks.
Qualcomm was relatively quick with the 8 Elite gen 5 open source adreno drivers. I think they recognize that we may be finally entering the premium gaming on ARM and they can benefit from Android phones and handhelds and soon in the future more handheld Linux gaming pcs
been using my RP5 since launch as a steam handheld just on android alone.
as long as you have a strong WiFi connection it's baller.
