Comment on [Rumor] Valve may be working on official Waydroid (Android app) support for Steam

  On Bazzite I believe people use Firefox installed as Android app, so they can simply switch to it for game guides etc, while playing a game, in GameScope/Big Screen/GameMode™

  I’m too lazy to test, because I just run it as my daily driver on my Desktop.

    But you can do the same with a normal desktop Firefox, none of those things prevent you from switching windows to check things. There must be some other reason why it's run as an Android app.

      Probably because it’s got a better touch interface than desktop note: I’ve never tried desktop Firefox in a touchscreen device

  I can’t imagine wanting to play a mobile game on Steam Deck… but having access to other native apps sure sounds like a win. Didn’t consider that.
