Anyone experimenting with Linux on Android around here?

I was having quite a hard time finding a decent IDE to use on DeX so Im just running a full desktop and coding on vscode. The performance is surprisingly good, just wish it was easier and more stable to set up gnome, as it just looks like it would fit a touchscreen and the android aesthetic really well.

      The problem with Termux is that it has limited access to SD card. You have to either root the phone or keep everything Termux realted in phone storage or the special directory android gives to Termux on sd card.

      And I couldn’t find a way to create a link to it.

        That’s fair. Storage has long been an annoying issue with Android, but yeah, I normally go the root option when all else fails. I’ve mostly just used it for network troubleshooting recently though, which doesn’t need any additional storage.
