[most likely solved] OT: Do you know a Linux compatible shell app for iOS/iPadOS, to write scripts on an iPad and then to use those scripts with Xubuntu?

One workaround that yet does the job is a wrapper.
I installed gnome-caclulator by running

# apk add gnome-caclulator

and then wrote a wrapper script named "calc", that is installed in
/usr/local/bin. It works, but it's very slow.

Ok, it becomes way too off-topic, hence I will stop now.

Resume:
It's ok, but it could be better.
If somebody knows an alternative to iSH, please let me know.
