I can't mentally get over cringing while using ish, thinking about how many emulated x86 calls are being made under the hood, wasting the incredible CPU in the iPad.

I tried emacs in it once and it was too slow to be usable - would be keen to hear if you get a performant setup.

As an alternative, using UTM with a lightweight linux distro might be more performant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJfRJhJznzM

Or just run alpine with openssh and ssh in locally through an iOS client. I'd be curious how running UTM/qemu continuously would affect battery life. Is it 10% or 50% less? 10% would be an acceptable trade off for me.

I would be pretty surprised if it was more performant.
