What do you use termux for?
yt-dlp
Mostly as a calculator with Python, though sometimes I use it to write simple programs/scripts for testing purposes when I'm stuck on the toilet.

>>108602483Why when there are native android front ends?
>>1086025081. easier formatting like export mp3 only.2. can easily feed into ffmpeg if needed
>>108602467Anything. I have Claude in it and I vibe code small apps of whatever shit I need, include servery and databasey stuff that I then ran on my phone, small Web apps turned pseudo-apps
>>108602541That makes sense
yt-dlp, and occasionally rebooting my file/plex server from bed.
yt-dlp for the ffmpeg reasons already mentioned by another anon and like literally any other cli i want to use at any given moment

I have llama.cpp installed so it can just sit there and do nothing.

>>108603654>>108603725The fact it runs GUI GNU/Linux applications flawlessly makes it much more useful than termux. It does have issues when used together with a VPN in lockdown mode though, so hopefully that will get fixed.
>>108604388Can't Termux do the same if on a rooted phone? Which is really the issue: Terminal(s) on Linux are gimped due to the root prevention/protection at userspace?
>>108602467i don't have a usecase for a terminal multiplexer, i just open multiple windows of my terminal. presumably it's a good way to add scrolling to st though.or are you just using it as a shell interface for your phone? never got that shit to work properly, it always did weird shit with keyboard input.
>>108604494Don't need root
>>108604539i think you're confusing tmux with termux. if not then idk wtf your post means
>>108604557Huh. Neat. I haven't bothered with termux much since it seemed pretty gimped with all the restrictions Google puts on it (at least from what Termux said). Guess I should play around with it a bit more.

>>108604882all that on a tiny little phone screen?I get the feeling you are using a phone as a home server...
I used nmap on various wifi networks. One time in a restaurant the AP they used had telnet enabled with a default password. I was able to get in and get the passwords for the non-public ssids and test them all until I found one with no speed restrictions. Same passwords used at other locations of the same chain too so when I'm in different malls I can access their private wifi.
>>108602467Unironically, file management. It's crazy how there's no good file manager for android that can handle (de-)compression and magic wormhole makes transferring files easy, plus I don't need to learn where each function is on some shitty GUI, I already know all the commands I need from using them on the 'puter.>>108604760Are you a maid?

>>108604760What is a maid computer
>>108609652It's a forced meme promulgated by one single individual on this board who's obsessed with Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.
ssh into various devices around my house with one of my old shitty phones so it's like a second monitor for my laptop. widgets package makes it like a remote control for reboots and stuff
