it’s actually not that far off a chroot, it uses LXC, the really cool thing thats going on is this wayland integration, I was waiting for termux-gui + wlroots to come along, but this might just land first
However, it also uses helium and libhybris. That means you can’t just install your favourite distro and upstream tools. Everything that needs GPU acceleration needs to be patched for libhybris. Fire example, that means no upstream wlroots - and the latest patched version I think is 0.12 or so.
So how does it render to screen? Because the biggest nag on any of these previous implementations came when I needed to use VNC to remotely connect to the desktop…
it uses a modified wayland compositor that hooks up directly to android surfaceview. Currently if you want a chroot/proot solution, I reccomend termux-x11. it’s good performance.
TLDR: Easy installation of something like Termux, GUI, Kwin and KDE, and a graphical display.
This is really good!
Not really. It seems to use a very different technology from termux.

A better alternative would be spice, but just a guess
