This is going to be nice. Good first step.

    Google’s bullshit strikes again! All apps must be built for Android 13 or they are removed from Play Store, apparently because Google could not do the Android security correctly for the first 12 versions. Now they can emulate Linux on Android, but cannot emulate an older version of Android on Android. And I last updated my app in 2021, during Android 11 era.

    Here’s the link to sideload the app:

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/libsdl-android/files/apk/XServer-XSDL/XServer-XSDL-1.20.51.apk/download

    I’ll try to update it on Play Store tomorrow, if my crusty build scrips will work with the new Android SDK.

      Ok, the app doesn’t have any place to enter those commands. It opens up this msdos like blue terminal and it’s stuck there. I can’t type anything. And the keyboard shows when I press the back button on the phone. I can’t exit the app,I can only exit with the home button

      Why do you have to emulate Linux on Android? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought Android was Linux?

        Yup, Android is Linux, but you can’t run desktop apps on it like Gimp or LibreOffice or VS Code, that’s what Linux terminal is capable of.
