Local Desktop is built with Rust and runs entirely in native code. By using the Wayland protocol, it incurs less overhead compared to X or VNC alternatives.

Worth a try.

This seems pretty cool. I have an old Android tablet I'd love to try this on, but it's got pretty weak stats compared to more contemporary devices; I wonder if this could work...?

Just tested and my device is unsupported as my kernel lacks "the required system calls to run PRoot correctly."

Whoops, didn't work on my pixel :(

based on proot, seems like it has both x11 and wayland which is pretty neat. i guess this could be better than termux with termux-x11 in some ways.

☹️

Although the usage of (x)wayland is novel, there have already beem projects which do something similar before.

Termux can run a linux container in a proot, which you can then connect to via an app like vnc to get graphics.

There exist several options to automate this setup, such as anlinux. There is also the proprietary andronix, which used to be open source but now it looks like tgere repos aren't being updated.

It's bad reporting to frame this as a novel app, when it's not. The novel thing is the way this app does xwayland rendered by a native wayland compositor (instead of remote desktop softeare or other solutions), which is really cool though.

This seems great?!

So with this, you can do pretty much anything in any Linux distro minus any sudo related commands?

While this is much easier to setup than running Termux, this really doesn't seem to be working well for me. I keep having this problem where it stops excepting mouse input for seemingly no reason. I know it's not frozen because my keyboard still works but I can't use it for more than a few seconds before mouse inputs stop working. I don't have this problem with Termux, I have other problems with it but that's a different story.

Well it doesnt seem to work on an s25. Pretty sure its oneui's fault tho
