I have been having a ton of fun messing with this, hooking up a dock and a kb/mouse, so funny using my phone this way. More of a party trick than actually useful, for me anyway. if one didn’t have laptops, i could see it being handy.
What have you guys been using termux for? The biggest value I saw from it was using ffmpeg on it, and ssh for fun. I can’t really figure out what other uses I may want it for. Backups maybe?
I’m not rooted, so I can’t do a lot on this crappy samsung, but it’s fun to play around.
I recently installed qemu and used it to install ms dos in a vm so I could play a few old games during a train ride. I had to use an android vnc client to connect to the vm and a bt travel keyboard to control it. The dos install took a while but once I got it set, it ran well enough to play old dos games.
There are probably better ways to play old dos games on an android phone but I had fun setting it up.
Thats much cooler. I think a dosbox app exists for android. But thats lame.
