I think this is great, I've wanted some sort of docker on android system and this does the job quite nicely all wrapped up in an apk. So there is definitely space for this in the current ecosystem. The new terminal built into android crashes whenever I try booting it up.

Termux 6 months ago

I like to use with termux_xfce proot to use calibre on the go etc

I had a go at finding a launcher that suits my preferences, and ended up back to square 1, the native launcher on Samsung Oneui. the killer feature is stackable widgets so you can reduce the real estate used for each one.

That said,my other top picks are : Lawnchair +Lawnicons YAM Launcher (foss and minimal) Fossify launcher beta (bare bones typical launcher).

Interesting, I've not heard of this one before. Most of the emulation community has settled on 'Winlator' as the main android windows emu of choice. Before this it was Exagear, but winlator is easier to get started with. Another route is using proof termux with a DE like xfce and connecting with X but not sure how good this setup is for pure gaming performance, but may be a good option for Dev work.

My company which uses mainframe and COBOL is undergoing a migration to Linux. This involves porting all the batch command scripts to bash and also fix quirks with COBOL compiler differences. At the end of it though the system is at least 4x faster and much more maintainable. This was the solution instead of doing a complete rewrite to Java that they backed out of some years before.
