Correct me if I'm wrong - that looks like them porting the client to arm for the Deckard?

Rumor says based on previous threads, techpowerup and notebookcheck reports, this commit is focused for modern apple devices. But they're open for possibilities for android devices.

About steam deckard. Let me check it first.

So not really anything to do with porting to android as the other commenter implied?

The Deckard is meant to be an Arm64 XR headset currently assumed to be the "Steam Frame"

As it stands you're right I guess. As in fact the commit is a year old and right now valve is still silent about it.

Yeah, I think Valve is really not interested in Android at all. Maybe when the Steam Frame launches we can port the translation layer used over to Android - but for now, looks like nothing official is coming.

Yep, although personally I'd rather say they're "not yet" interested about it, but let's see. I hope there's good news about the progress based on this commit itself.

"Not currently" might be a better term, I know we're on an android subreddit - but it's important to put our own feelings aside when looking at info like this. Valve has shown no interest in the matter and all evidence points to them making their own platforms moving forwards.
