Linux

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.

termux targets an extremely out of date sdk and is therefore quite insecure.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Do newer SDK work on obsolete devices running Android 9/10?

Have it kill slack and zoom when their buggy ass resource leaking shit grinds your system to a halt.

Luckily i never had to use them for school as my government recognized thier insecurities, and i prob won't need to use them for my job as i am a mechanic (albeit for construction machinery)
