  • nix-on-droid

    Discontinued Nix-enabled environment for your Android device.

  • termux-app

    Termux - a terminal emulator application for Android OS extendible by variety of packages.

  • How does this compare with termux? What are the advantages? (termux is still available on fdroid https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/)

    I am guessing it is avoiding all the android-lockdown problems besetting termux... though termux still works for me on android 11...

    It uses proot - doesn't that come with a substantial performance hit?

  • InfluxDB
