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 is awesome! I use it for a bunch of things:

sshing into servers and my home when I'm out and about
using croc to transfer files
making videos I'm going to send people smaller with ffmpeg
downloading stuff with yt-dlp
giving myself access to the sandbox + /sdcard from other computers by running an ssh server
scripting phone stuff (like taking photos) with the api
running weechat locally, which I can then connect to with weechat android
using vim
probably a bunch of other things I'm forgetting
