Have you ever been disappointed with Linux? (libretechni.ca)

Personally I haven't. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it's whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.

I'm running Android 17 on my Pixel 8, and Termux runs just fine; apt packages included.

Aside from having to go through the Advanced Flow to run unverified APKs, I'll honestly be surprised if this changes when the app verification restrictions roll out, since going through the Advanced Flow gives you the option of installing unverified APKs indefinitely.

Now, if Google raises the minimum SDK version apps can use so that Termux can't run, that will be an issue...
