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.
Edit: I might've misinterpreted what you wrote, oops. Nonetheless, I'll keep this as it's still afaik correct info.
