    This doesn’t look like another alpine vm. But maybe I misread the install script. I see it uses apt so some sort of Debian base? If so, no root, GPU accelerated, not virtualized, Linux on Android is quite the accomplishment.

      It’s an installer for Termux packages. You can do the same thing manually in Termux shell, if you know the names of packages you are installing.

      And yes, Termux uses Debian apt package manager.

      Just to put it out here. Termux has proot-distro that allows you to run qite a few distros as containers. Technically not a VM afaik. I find it useful, because it is sometimes simpler to wipe that instead of reinstalling Termux.
