Where has Termux been all my Android life?

18th August 2016

After battling for YEARS trying to find a decent terminal setup for Android, fighting with awful shells, terrible coreutils and ridiculous file-system hierarchies, suddenly I discovered:

TERMUX

termux and hacker's                                                                               keyboard running on CyanogenMod

It's, so, much, better

  • I have bash
  • I have GNU coreutils
  • I have Python3
  • I have emacs (I have tried to install Emacs on my phone SO many times before and failed)
  • I can install stuff (no idea where it comes from but yeah)
  • I can make it keep running in background to use my phone as a server

Suddenly, phones are not so bad. With CyanogenMod and F-Droid I can make a powerful phone run mostly Free Software, and with Termux and hacker's keyboard I can make it not even suck!

The world just became a little bit better.
