There have been apps that set up a chroot with a desktop Linux distro for around a decade, maybe longer. Some of them don't even need root. But this one definitely sounds more integrated and is interesting for that reason

Comparison with existing alternatives, e.g Termux, please.

  • needs root
  • no easy way to install

but... supports not just CLI apps, or a terminal, like Termux, but also KWin with Wayland, so GUI, not just TUI.
