| I tried this a while back with. NET and Blazor. With split screen I was able to add some code and preview live in the browser and build and 'install' a simple pwa. Presumably with an external monitor and the desktop mode it would be better. Code from tiny llms such as Gemma are a waste of time but it "worked". It was neat to generate a working app completely offline. The main problem was that the VM crashed on my pixel fairly frequently. Might be better by now. |

| Got a direct link to the app? The play store search is just offering me the Tom Hanks movie about a dude stuck in an airport ... Edit: found it using these instructions. https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-avf?tab=readme-ov-fil... |

| Why would that be preferable to Termux? |
| |
| ▲ | PopePompus 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Because, wonderful as Termux is, it has a very nonstandard filesystem layout, so installation scripts for something like Anaconda will not run without extensive modifications. And Termux has no access to /proc, /dev etc., so lots of utilities fail. Since Terminal provides a full Linux VM, all programs that will run on Linux just work as expected. | | |
| ▲ | RavSS 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Termux can access the full file system if you have root access, which is how I play around with it; however, running a VM is a safer and easier route, especially as smartphone manufacturers are making it tougher to root the device you own. | |
| ▲ | cess11 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | I haven't noticed anything like that. Some more obscure tools have trouble with the file system but that happens in ordinary Linux too. Though I have no experience with Anaconda specifically so you likely know better whether it'll need adaptations to work under Termux. I run htop just fine on my handhelds and I'm pretty sure it sources directly from /proc, /sys or something. | | |
| ▲ | PopePompus 2 days ago | parent [-] | | On my unrooted Pixel, I get "Permission denied" errors if I ls /sys, /dev, /proc and / within Termux. And /usr and /var don't exist. |

| Also, you can have NixOS instead of debian: https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-avf |

| Wow, that’s cool! I wonder whether one day Apple is going to allow something like this with headless “macOS” VM on iPadOS to make it a viable local development platform. |
