      Lepton is a waydroid fork.

      So yes, both are.

        Ah. Another “rebranding theft”

          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
