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 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.
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!
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.
