Ask HN: Which X11 server do you use on Android?
I have a Google Pixel phone. The latest (March) software update included the ability to enable a new 'Terminal' app which drops you into a debian shell.
I looked in the Play Store for X11 servers. I found two:
1. Mocha X11: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.mochasoft.x11
2. RNX XIO X11 GUI: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awnto.rnx.xio
#2 seems to work only with a specific linux distribution.
#1 seems to work fine, and I trust the company because ~25 years ago I used their 5250 emulator for Windows, and it was great.
I also found an open source one in the IzzOnDroid F-Droid repo:
3. https://github.com/nwrkbiz/android-xserver
That seems less cluttered than the Mochasoft one, but I can't get it to keep an app up for more than a few seconds: the terminal reports the connection to the X server was broken.
I'm curious whether you're using one of these and/or whether there's a better option?
