It turns out that not only are Valve using the open source FEX for the Steam Frame but they have been funding FEX since the beginning of it.

What exactly is FEX? FEX allows you to run x86 applications on ARM64 Linux devices, similar to qemu-user and box64. It offers broad compatibility with both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries, and it can be used alongside Wine/Proton to play Windows games.
