let me??? Termux has userland covered.
Not everyone wants to live in the terminal. I would argue most people don't.
You are certainly welcome to run a stupid-graphics app that gives similar abilities.
So what games are we talking about in the terminal?
I don't know. I quit playing video games.
Oh cool how do I run VSCode in Termux?
Install the server, fire it up, open up chrome in Android and point to it?
Correction: no something's not right it didn't work for me. Looks like it's almost working in nix-on-droid, but something is causing code server to crash.
Yep
Or run an X11 app and connect the GUI, but id argue the web interface is more usable on Android.
Try to use the npm package instead of the nix package, worked for me
Would you want to?
Yes! On a tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard. Should I not want to for some reason?
