Gitso in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own gitso package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so Gitso 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.

Linux apps use Android's own network connection, and a VPN connected in Android covers them too. More about internet apps in Breadstick.

About Gitso

From Debian's package description

Gitso is a cross-platform (Linux, OS X and Windows) graphical program to easily connect one person to another person's screen, keyboard and mouse. This makes it straight-forward to get help or give technical support.

In a simple two-step process, the person giving support first sets up port forwarding and firewalling on his end, if necessary, and starts Gitso to listen for incoming connections on port 5500. Then, the person looking for help uses Gitso to connect to the supporter's address (IP or domain name), making their screen remotely visible and allowing the supporter to use their keyboard and mouse.

From Debian's description of the gitso package, under that package's license.
