Here's the Twitter thread discussing this

Basically, some different apps were linked to the official steamVR app. These apps are hidden, but the data miner was able to grab some assets from them that included some custom art for Waydroid, which is a Linux program that lets you run Android apps on Linux.

Additionally, I've seen comments saying that some valve devs have been making pull requests for the Waydroid github, but I don't actually have a proper source for that.

Before the steamdeck came out, I've been actually thinking about buying an android handheld console. The fact that the most android games were pay2win convinced me to wait for something better.

However, getting an android app support, that's reliably set up, by someone else than me, and basically for free would still be nice!
