An absolute mammoth post about how I am running this blog site from a Google Pixel 5 Android phone using only Termux. It includes what inspired me, what I'm using for the setup, and my longform notes on the entire project.
applications run under Termux will have direct access to the phone (though heavily locked down). the Linux terminal being introduced to android runs in a VM which is more secure, but which comes with a certain level of performance overhead
Is there a point to Termux in the future if Android ever gets a full Linux terminal?
Lagest android has a built in terminal. Its great except its app is a web view and if you have a vpn on it can’t connect to the terminal.
Termux is native and more powerful
