Whine? Maybe even Fex?

You can play windows x86 games on the Arm chip that is in the steam Frame (running Linux). So there are conversions available, but generally you lose like 10-15% performance if it runs.

    I've been playing around with Droid-Deck on my android phone this week and it's surprisingly good.

    I don't have the space to install really large games, so I've tested recent indie/AA games and older games like Crysis Remastered and they all just worked. Even the desktop experience and flatpak installer was quick and painless.

    I already have a Steam Deck and don't really need to use this, but it's pretty awesome easily running games or Linux apps on the phone. Obviously YMMV, but I've been genuinely surprised by it so far

    This is not ARM, this is x86 processor ripped out of the Steam Deck. I know we can emulate x86 even on smartphones. So small form factor is possible this way. But having a full fledged x86 PC processor in a small form factor almost the size of original Game Boy is pretty impressive. Given what it is capable of playing.
