This is the best app to test linux apps or binaries on the go! 11/10 would recommend!
I bought the premium, and modded Ubuntu XFCE, works like a charm.
Love using this, and getting the premium OS versions are really worth it.
I run it on Samsung S20+ connected to 15" FHD monitor. It is very beautiful desktop. I am trying to get MRST to run on it. But there are a few problem with VLC.
Excellent Work!!
