Termux is the first app I install on every Android device I get my hands on. It's astonishingly capable.

I have a Bluetooth keyboard case for my Android tablet. All the time, I use Termux to ssh into my Linux machine over my home network and code on it in Neovim from my couch.

I don't bother with the default notes app on my phone. Termux + Neovim running vimwiki and syncing to a private GitHub repo is way better.

Most stuff you want at the CLI is in the Termux package repository. On the occasions when it isn't, you can install clang, make, cmake, ninja, whatever libraries you need, and build it from source. At that point most stuff just works.

Termux is incredible and single-handedly keeps me running Android.

I beleive Android 16 now comes with termux-like Linux environment that can be enabled via developer settings menu.

Yeah but it sucks. There's a button in its settings to install a Debian chroot environment; gave it a go and it bricked itself, had to clear the app's storage and factory reset it.

A bug in a not even beta program makes it 'suck'?

If it's not even a beta, then it can hardly be replacement for termux.
