    Lepton is a waydroid fork.

    So yes, both are.

        No.

        Lepton is quite far from waydroid. Significant architectural changes, like Lepton is userspace only, waydroid runs a shared virt while Lepton is per app containers, etc.

        Valve tends to be good about upstreaming, etc. The original projects aren’t losing out
