INSTEAD in Breadstick

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

Breadstick draws graphics with the processor rather than the GPU, so 2D, puzzle, card and board games suit it best, and fast 3D games run slowly. More about games in Breadstick.
