Yeah but it sucks. There's a button in its settings to install a Debian chroot environment; gave it a go and it bricked itself, had to clear the app's storage and factory reset it.
- getpokedagain 8mo agoAdd to this list that it tends to not work while connected via a VPN. Not sure why but this makes me very skeptical of it.

- getpokedagain 8mo agoWhy should booting a Linux VM require network access right away.
- JoshTriplett 8mo agoProbably because it's trying to establish a network connection, and it might be running a networking setup that blocks until the network is up. Also, it's trying to run networking with the host so it can run things like the storage balloon driver and mounting the host filesystem.
- functionmouse 8mo agothat's sketch city. Why does it care? What are they looking for?
- getpokedagain 8mo agoI'm thinking maybe they just want me to keep using termux over their sketchy shit
- gf000 8mo agoA bug in a not even beta program makes it 'suck'?
- yjftsjthsd-h 8mo agoIf it's not even a beta, then it can hardly be replacement for termux.
- Antibabelic 8mo agoI don't understand this comment. Yes, absolutely. Alpha versions of software absolutely suck. The end goal is making it not suck, but if it's full of breaking bugs your can't just say it doesn't suck just because they're expected.
- NoGravitas 8mo agoYeah, I can always use the Android Terminal once. If I re-open it, it says it's corrupted, and has to delete and re-install its minimal Debian environment.
