Well, no. It's a full-blown Debian VM running on your portable Linux-based device, with its own virtual network adapter that accesses the internet via NAT through your phone's physical network adapter. Just like a VM on a normal server.

The terminal program used to access said VM happens to be a web app. Very much like Spice, NoMachine, and others. You can even SSH into it from Termux if you forward the port.

Yeap, i was talking about the terminal app not the VM

Isn't everything a webapp these days?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

I can say that practically every "program" my employer forces us to use is in fact a webapp, and thus I have to refresh or back out and reclick a minimum of 100 times a day (I do teleservice).

First the windows 11 start menu, now the linux terminal. Worldview in shambles.

Well not just. It's a web app that connects to a shell running on a VM, running on your phone.

I had a basic terminal app 10 years ago that was built better than that. It could barely do anything without root access, but at least it want a web app.

Depends. Looked today into why there's no ready-made DuckDuckGo browser for Linux (but there is for Mac,Windows,Android). There's source code for LInux in a .deb. Rahtha confusing methinks.
