I never imagined I'd like playing Tetris on the command line, on a terminal on my phone (termux), but here I am!
I couldn't find any Tetris app on fdroid, and just checked if pkgs had one. Lo and behold! It asked me to run pkgs install vitetris, and when I did, the tetris command was there to launch the game.
It's a two step process, as opposed to just launching an app, but it is very lightweight, no tracking, and FOSS.
For anyone with termux already installed and feeling a bit nostalgic, might be worth trying it out.
Wow, I didn't know you could run a terminal on Android, I'll check it out, thank you
Termux is so useful and fun.
out of curiosity, what do you use it for? I've never been able to find a useful function of it beyond a niche party trick
I use it for backing up all my photos and videos (the
DCIMfolder) to my B2 repo usingrclone.It's genuinely amazing how useful it is.
There's a native foss android app called Round Sync that does this.
Oh, that client looks great.
Will check it out, cheers!
I use it for YouTube-dl, and it's probably useful for programming too. There is a command to let it access shared storage, use that before anything else. Download it from f-droid. Play store build is broken.
play store build is broken because of its insecurities via sdk29 usage.
box64(droid) makes it possible to run x64 applications, even with wine - so you can have a mini graphically accelerated desktop
Can also get a NixOS version of termux
If you really want your mind blown check out UserLAnd
I've been using Andronix, how does this compare?
There's also AnLinux (available in F-Droid)
It utilizes termux to run Linux distros on Android without root access.
