I have installed Termux, a terminal app on my /e/OS (Android based) phone. Not sure what I need it for. Possibly ssh. Terminal is different, more limited, on Android and an ordinary computer. But I kinda like to have a terminal window on my phone. Is Termux a good app? What do you use it for? termux.dev/en/

Yeah, mostly SSH. You CAN do neat stuff like run a whole desktop, GUI and all, in it... But it's mostly useful for SSH.

For quick scripts on my Raspberry Pi server I started using RasPi Check from F-Droid, and I've found it much more useful for my use-case.

But if I ever need to fix something, it's back to Termux.

@hehemrin streamlink to use with mpv (for Android), vim to quickly edit files, and curl

@hehemrin small on the go changes to my (python, C++) projects, as it allows to set up full-fledged development environment with vim (IMO it's even more powerful on mobile) and git, with ability to freely run all development tools and q/a tools, tests and sometimes whole applications locally.
