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.

Android run on top of Linux. Once upon a time it was a Java VM sitting on a Linux kernel, it's roots are still there though it's blown up quite a bit since then.
It's not entirely incorrect to say Linux is somewhere between a bootloader and a bios for Android.
I'm aware and I HATE it since you have to root it just to use scp/rsync effectively.
With termux ,i can access my storage space,and use scp normally .no root.
i just tried it and i'm not able to access any of the files i created nor any of the files that already exist on my phone; what am i missing?
termux-setup-storage Try that comand
That's the part I missed!
Thank you!!!
