I haven’t looked into it beyond typing a couple of lines into the terminal but I’m wondering how useful iSh will be for people trying to go down this road.

From https://ish.app - “iSH is a project to get a Linux shell environment running locally on your iOS device, using a usermode x86 emulator.”

I’ve been using this for the past few days on an iPad, and so far, it’s been great. There are plenty of syscalls that aren’t working, but it’s far more functional that I anticipated. In fact, playing with iSH on my phone for a month or so is what convinced me to get the iPad at all.

I haven’t been able to try too much coding in iSH as opposed to SSHing out to a server, but that’s one use-case that’s on their radar.
