For those familiar with FTL, you understand how much it can become a habit. Now it's running on Linux, and I had a thought. Could it be feasible to set up a Linux OS on a Samsung Express Prime 3 to play Steam games that use Linux? Also, is the device strong enough for FTL? And if something goes wrong, can I still restore Android?

With an emulator in mind. Its x86_64 binaries work best on ARM or ARM64 devices. If the project is open source, you might be able to build it for ARM, though that's rare.

It's unclear if it's open source, but it offers a DRM-free version. If you could compile it or use an emulator, it might work. The game also has an official Linux release.

You're not finding anything useful without using an emulator, which is likely to perform poorly or lack available source code.

Unless it's open source, it won't function properly. The emulator could run, but converting x86 to ARM in real-time will be extremely slow, especially on a slow phone.

Other than transferring a closed-source title, (maybe luck helps), you can install it on your Linux system and access it via remote desktop from your mobile device. However, expect some delay because of internet usage and data limits.
