You can do the same today, without a jailbreak using https://ish.app/ https://ish.app/ which is an x86 emulator capable of running on the latest iOS / iPadOS versions. I do actually use it for work. Plus it works with standard x86 alpine Linux packages.
- tech234a 7y agoThere’s a short tutorial on their wiki for anyone interested: https://github.com/tbodt/ish/wiki/Running-a-VNC-Server https://github.com/tbodt/ish/wiki/Running-a-VNC-Server
- hsitz 7y agoI'm sure many people find ish.app useful. It failed for me mostly because the emulation layer slows things down too much. I wanted to run emacs on my iPad Pro (2017) and it is indeed straightforward to get it (and many other things) running under ish. Maybe some people would be happy with it; for me the sluggishness of emacs in ish made me look for other solutions. At the moment, I'm using iVim, which works great and is a native ios app so very snappy.
- aasasd 7y agoI guess technically you can, but emulating x86 on arm sounds horrible. (Friendly reminder that nothing like JIT is allowed on iOS for third-party code.)
- saagarjha 7y agoIt’s reasonable if you’re doing some light editing.
- swiley 7y agoI’d absolutely love to see X11 added to ish. That’s probably the only thing that could keep me from switching to one of the open source phones.
