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.

Yes, I would like to use this as an alternative to syncthing. Arch Linux and Android. So how the phone should be connected? Do I need to open my phone's SSH port?
Yes, you do need SSH set up on your phone. I'm using the same setup (Linux + Android). I wrote a short tutorial for it here: https://jakobkreft.github.io/synchi/termux.html
Also I use it with Tailscale so I can sync from anywhere not just local network.
