    This https://github.com/TermuxArch/scripts.TermuxArch/blob/master/frags/taprootuserland.bash script should compile the Userland varient. You might want to edit it a little bit to get the varient without Userland builtin.

    Yes. Even without enabling root, you can install Termux[1] and have a full Linux cli environment with ssh.

    I agree. I sync my camera folder with Syncthing[1], so as soon as I take a photo it is available on my laptop.

    With this, I was able to cross compile lone for x86_64 from within the Termux environment of my aarch64 smartphone. All I had to do was obtain the Linux user space API headers for x86_64.

    I made a Termux package request for multiplatform Linux UAPI headers specifically so I could cross compile lone but unfortunately it was rejected.
