I mean that even if phones are powerful, one can’t run PC games on them unless they get Proton on it somehow, which might require the things I mentioned.
Wine through Box64 is something you can already do on top of Android, either directly through Termux or something like Winlator. Lots of incompatibilities though… even installing Steam is only barely possible through hacks.
DRM-free Windows games, but mostly older titles since the performance overhead is pretty large. Something like Fallout 3 or Oblivion will run at playable frame rates.
But you can stream it. My phone is my poor man’s Deck.
Depending on the phone it could be stronger than the deck lol
One would have to hack their phone to get SteamOS or plain postmarket onto it though, very few phones run well with the mainline kernel.
I’m not sure where you’re going with that. I was just trying to say that phone’s are a solid contender and shouldn’t be counted out

I knew there was bound to be something. Cool, what can you play on it despite incompatibilities?
Things that don’t use binaries built for x86 lol
