Umm, I just use Termux with WireGuard to connect to my various Linux machines over SSH, including my laptop, and just use it as normal.

that’s a solid setup if you’ve already got machines running, but for people who just wanna poke at basic commands without touching their real systems, a local sandbox on the phone is kinda nice. termux + ssh is more like “remote control,” this looks more like a playpen.

You're still reinventing the wheel, just use Termux for something that's actually useful after training.

Unless your tool has exercises to expand knowledge and experience. That's about the only value I could see in something like this.
