Between bVNC, XFCE, and UserLAnd crashing, I've had about 1 crash every 5 minutes in the first 45 minutes of use. I wouldn't care if it were completely free. However, if I'm going to pay $1.99 for FOSS, I expect it to be extremely stable. edit: Termux (specifically the version from F-Droid) is 100% free, more stable and has much better application support. Setup is slightly more involved but it's worth it! Edited

This app works out of the box which is nice and having a desktop os on your mobile device is great for getting a PC browsing experience in Android. The fact that this app is free and doesn't require root just makes it all the better. Although, if you want Chrome instead of Firefox, a bit of finesse is required. Also, a feature I would appreciate for my Kindle Fire would be storing filesystems on your SD card. From what I hear though, incorporating that would be borderline impossible. Edited

The best way to install Ubuntu, Arch, and various other Linux distributions, since I can no longer hack myself into these distros using Termux. It is no longer being updated and their servers are unreliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This app is just as fast. For a virtual machine running inside of Android with a 2GHz processor; it is compared to a dual core 3GHz desktop once it has loaded. However, I wish it was native and built the file system in a terminal. It would be faster.

One of the best Linux on Android solutions out there. I use it to run PowerShell Core, and other tools. Easy to configure and run, in fact I configured it while I was on a bus! Recent update added improvements to horizontal cursor keys (which is very nice as Gboard does not have them) making it much easier, but external keyboard is recommended. I do like flexibility that it can be used either with keyboard or on the go entirely on the screen. Edited

I have an Alcatel Revvl 2/Android 8.1.0. It gets stuck on "verifying assets" until eventually i get an unknown error that explains an illegal state of some sort. I have cleared the support files and uninstalled/reinstalled several times now. But the error persists. *Edit* I haven't been able to use this app for a few days now. I'll leave 2 stars because I loved using it while I could. I'm going to uninstall and maybe check back in a couple months to see if things have changed. Edited
