Modern distros supports binder too. In the reverse, you can run Waydroid, which is an Android userland under a Wayland distro.

On native executables and such, file and objdump once I installed clang under termux to compile a simple binary tells me otherwise.



I bet you didn't install Termux from the PlayStore.

What matters is how an Android device as bought on a random shop as consumer behaves, not how one can hack around Android and AOSP.


Install it from F-Droid. If you are advanced enough to run Terminal bound software, using PlayStore is not the developers' fault.


It is the developers fault for Termux's architecture not being aligned with Android's app model.


Thus my point is made, should have placed the bet.


TIL that binderfs is a mainline kernel feature now,

Back when I used Waydroid, I had to use an out-of-tree module picked from the Anbox project. I have stopped using Waydroid but good to know that binderfs is a thing!
