Better than Continuum
If I understood it correctly, while Windows Continuum lets you run applications with a desktop interface, it still does not let you run just any shrink-wrapped Windows 10 x86 binary application; the applications still have to be for the mobile version of Windows 10, to run on ARM. This, on the other hand, lets one run real Linux programs, not Android programs which are modified to accept the mouse buttons and expect a keyboard.
