What IS Termux? How does it work? #3403
-
|
Browsed through the docs and I don't see an explanation. Is it running its own Linux kernel on top of the Android kernel? Is it running native proceses directly in the host kernel? Is it running a full VM? |

Termux runs natively on Android (linux) kernel. No custom kernel or VM/chroot. |

Thanks a lot! I did eventually deduce from reading the issues that it's launching processes on the host kernel directly, but your link expands on that and is a very interesting read. |
