Tess's Android Wayland Compositor Runs Linux Apps Without Root
tawc is an agent-built project that runs CLI and graphical Linux programs on Android without root access. It combines tawcroot, a faster alternative to PRoot, with a Wayland compositor and a UI that embeds Termux's widget. Graphical apps get hardware acceleration via libhybris, and XWayland is included for X11 support. While it lacks real sandboxing and has limited graphics API support, it offers a launcher, home screen integration, and a task manager for Linux processes.
Graphical apps get hardware acceleration with the phone's native graphics stack.

Very cool.
> libhybris allows glibc Linux programs to load the standard Android graphics drivers
I don't quite follow why you need that? This runs on a real full Android, so surely drivers already work?

Oh that Is cool especially on a foldable you can run some interesting apps on it. And with wine + fex even more crazy stuff.
