It runs stuff in a container (PRoot) with standard Linux libraries and FHS layout, then you ssh or VNC in locally. The emulation isn't perfect due to Android's security policies, but close enough.

Standard Android does not support chroot, nor standard Linux libraries, hence why termux needs to patch them.
