Poll: When will we see full Linux distros as official iPhone apps?

1 pointsby ezequiel-garzon10 months ago
I&#x27;m a happy daily iSH [1] user, it&#x27;s an amazing technical project, but I really pine for the day when `apt get blah` will be a reality, <i>using an app available from the official App Store</i>. Be it a paid or free app. CLI only, or with graphics. For concreteness, let&#x27;s say a Debian-based distro in your iPhone upon tapping <i>Get</i> on Apple&#x27;s App Store, independently of your location. It is pretty sad that, if this ever comes to be, it will probably be the result of EU&#x2F;DOJ forces, not of technological advancements.<p>When do you see this happening (options are number of years)?<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ish.app&#x2F;
