From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wow, I didn't know you could run a terminal on Android, I'll check it out, thank you
Termux is so useful and fun.
out of curiosity, what do you use it for? I've never been able to find a useful function of it beyond a niche party trick
I use it for backing up all my photos and videos (the
DCIM
folder) to my B2 repo usingrclone
.It's genuinely amazing how useful it is.
There's a native foss android app called Round Sync that does this.
Oh, that client looks great.
Will check it out, cheers!
I use it for YouTube-dl, and it's probably useful for programming too. There is a command to let it access shared storage, use that before anything else. Download it from f-droid. Play store build is broken.
play store build is broken because of its insecurities via sdk29 usage.
box64(droid) makes it possible to run x64 applications, even with wine - so you can have a mini graphically accelerated desktop
Can also get a NixOS version of termux
If you really want your mind blown check out UserLAnd
I've been using Andronix, how does this compare?
There's also AnLinux (available in F-Droid)
It utilizes termux to run Linux distros on Android without root access.
