Not that I disagree, but would you be willing to provide some insight into what you personally felt was missing?

Not GP, but most of the apps I tried to install and execute I got “Bad System Call” notices from (some going so far as to crash init too). I reported one of those apps to the developer and they indicated it’s fixed on master, but I’ve not had a chance to compile yet (and developer said the same about an updated TestFlight build). Vim was one of the few things that worked decently well, but without a Bluetooth keyboard for Esc it was a little painful. I really like this project so I intend to get builds up and going soon and will be filing much more detailed bug reports (and ideally PRs) soon.
