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.

Linux on android (lemmy.world)

Anyone experimenting with Linux on Android around here?

I was having quite a hard time finding a decent IDE to use on DeX so Im just running a full desktop and coding on vscode. The performance is surprisingly good, just wish it was easier and more stable to set up gnome, as it just looks like it would fit a touchscreen and the android aesthetic really well.

Termux should be enough in that case.

The problem with Termux is that it has limited access to SD card. You have to either root the phone or keep everything Termux realted in phone storage or the special directory android gives to Termux on sd card.

And I couldn't find a way to create a link to it.

That's fair. Storage has long been an annoying issue with Android, but yeah, I normally go the root option when all else fails. I've mostly just used it for network troubleshooting recently though, which doesn't need any additional storage.
