Not to mention various IDEs and a lot of specialized tools basically compiled from a Linux distro. Still it's far from ideal given that everything needs to be compiled against the bastardized Bionic c library using the wonky at best Android NDK. Not to mention issues the Termux project uncovered where newly introduced "security" features prevent you from running binaries that were not installed from an APK (breaking many Linux distro chrome usecases and IDEs).

In short, a proper mobile Linux distro is needed, as Android is already far from perfect and getting worse. Hopefully some of the projects spawned around and related to PinePhone can cover that over time. :)
