It does not require root, user namespaces support or disabling SELinux, but it relies on
prootand other hacks instead. It uses a fork of Termux-the-terminal-emulator app, but has no relation to Termux-the-distro.
What exactly is the difference/relationship between Nix-on-Droid and Termux???
I haven’t gotten around to testing this yet, but I think they just share the Android app proot scaffolding. I wasn’t too satisfied with the proot performance on Android in general using Termux, as with interpreted runtimes like python, the system call overhead really shows itself. That of course doesn’t change here with nix-on-droid.
