fv FITS Editor in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own ftools-fv package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so fv FITS Editor should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. On Samsung DeX, Floating mode opens it as its own window beside your Android apps, and Desktop mode runs it on a full Linux desktop.

Everything runs on the device's own processor, with no GPU compute, and instruments attached over USB are not visible to Linux apps. More about science apps in Breadstick.

About fv FITS Editor

From Debian's package description

Fv provides a graphical user interface to data stored in FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) files. Local files can be created, viewed and edited, files on the internet can be opened read-only through the http and ftp protocols. Through the POWplot program, FITS data can be visualized in a large variety of styles. An interface to the SkyView online database allows for searching, downloading, and plotting of images and object lists for a region of the sky.

From Debian's description of the ftools-fv package, under that package's license.
